Carly Johnston

Meet our Centre Manager,
Carly Johnston

Carly Johnston – Re-training to be a teacher was the best decision I ever made! I completed my PGCE in 2013 and my NQT year in 2014. Since then, I have worked in local primary schools, secondary schools, and Carlisle College. Alongside full-time work I started to work for Kip Carlisle in 2017. In 2019 the previous owner retired, and I jumped at the chance to buy the franchise. The next step was purchasing the Dumfries franchise in July 2024 - we have gone from strength to strength - now teaching 350 plus lessons with 15 members of staff across the two sites.
