Head Teacher

Hello, I’m Nicola Kehoe, the very lucky headteacher of St Mary’s RC Primary School. I have been in primary education for over 25 years now. I was born in Glasgow and began my teaching career in the west coast of Scotland as a class teacher before moving to Edinburgh in 1995. After working as a class teacher for 10 years, I became a principal teacher then another move to become Depute here at St Mary’s and then I was successful in being appointed as Headteacher. I have been the Headteacher now these past 9 years.
St Mary’s has a lovely community spirit and parents, staff and pupils all work together to ensure our children are happy, engaged and achieving. I love the fact that no day is ever the same. Working with children to support their growth is I believe, just the best environment to be in.
Out of school, I live near the beach and enjoy lots of walks with my husband and our little boy who helps keep me very active too!
I look forward to seeing you in school and working with your children at St Marys.
