Welcome to Willow Class!

In Willow Class, we are kind, supportive and confident children who always work as a team! We are independent, creative learners because we challenge ourselves, concentrate, problem solve and aim to do our best. We use our imagination, we persevere, we are curious and we communicate constantly!  We are always learning and most importantly, we are HAPPY!

The Willow Team

Miss Bean will be teaching all week with the support of our wonderful Mrs Pearce. We are very lucky to be joined Mrs Shawyer who will teach RE on a Wednesday and PE on a Thursday and Madame Fuller, who will be teaching French. 

Daily Information:

PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays this year. On these days, the children should come into school in their PE kits which will act as their 'uniform' for those days. As such, the children are expected to wear a light blue polo PE shirt, navy leggings or jogging bottoms and a school jumper or navy jumper.
