Mrs Amanda Swain

Senior Science Technician

I have worked as an industrial chemist using many analytical techniques and advanced analysis processes for some very high-profile companies. I have for many years now been sharing my knowledge within schools as a science technician.

I also spent some time as a teaching assistant, where I learned that I enjoyed the teaching aspect and the satisfaction of children understanding and enjoying lessons. It was then when I decided that by becoming a science technician within a school, I could unite science and teaching together and pass on my knowledge of science of which I have always been very passionate about.

I am enjoying being part of the team at Kents Hill Park School, where I help to deliver some great science lessons and watch the students’ progress as they pass through the school.

When I’m not at school I am a member of a local choir where I sing as a soprano, we do many concerts for charity especially Willen Hospice. I enjoy spending time with my family and being out in the countryside.
