Hi, I'm Sarah, I started working at PQA as a teacher in 2013 and became Principal of PQA Southport in 2015, before opening PQA Bolton in 2016. So, I have been a part of this amazing family for nearly 10 years. Everything that PQA offers children and young people, watching my pupils grow in confidence and the enjoyment they get from expressing their imaginations, makes me love what I do.
