Mr. Charles, Headteacher
After graduating from the University of Sheffield I started my professional career as a structural engineer, working for a local firm of consulting engineers. Some time later, after spending a couple of years in Bangladesh working as a VSO volunteer involved with the construction of a Christian hospital, I decided to take the plunge into teaching. I feel honoured to call myself a teacher and it has been my great privilege to have been part of Bethany School since 2001, and to serve our Lord here. I was apointed as Headteacher in 2021.
​I look forward to meeting you.

Mrs. Ireland, Deputy Head
I qualified as a teacher in 2003 and have worked in Reception and Year 1 in four different schools in Sheffield and Rotherham. I absolutely love teaching, and get to see our youngest childrens’ enthusiasm, resilience and skills develop as they play and learn day by day. Since working at Bethany School I have been privileged to point our children to Jesus as we learn about God’s world together and see that His word is relevant in every area of the curriculum. I have recently been appointed as Deputy Headteacher and am excited to serve the school community in this new role.

Mrs. Daniels, SENDCo
​Ever since leaving school I have worked in education settings in a variety of roles. I studied Education and Learning Support at Sheffield Hallam University, alongside working as a teaching assistant in a Primary School. I joined Bethany as a member of staff, supporting additional needs in 2013. I also worked at the Sheffield Children’s Hospital, based in the community, visiting children in schools & their homes & supporting them with a wide range of needs. I took a break from Bethany when my children were born, but came back in the role of SENDCO in 2021. As a past pupil of Bethany myself, and a current parent, the school holds a special place in my heart and I can’t imagine not being part of it. I see it as an honour to work hard for the children in our school who need that little bit of extra help to do their very best!

We intend that Bethany should remain a small, friendly school run by and for the parents and children involved with the school...
Back in 1986 a small group of parents got together and formed a steering committee with the aim of opening a Christian School in September 1987...
