Welcome to Reception and Year 1

Our Teaching Staff:

Mrs Richardson (Class Teacher - Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday)

Mrs Petchell (HLTA - full time in Class 1)

Mr Hall (TA - supporting Mrs Petchell on Tuesday)

Important Information:

Please ensure all uniform, coats and shoes are labelled.

Please ensure your child brings their water bottle, reading folder and school book bag to school daily.

P.E. is every Wednesday afternoon with Mr Hall and Mr Maregane.

Please ensure that your child comes to school wearing their PE kit.

On a Wednesday afternoon it is Mrs Richardson's PPA time.  During this time the children will have PSHE with Mrs George and PE with Mr Hall and Mr Maregane.

On a Tuesday Mrs Richardson does not teach as it is her Leadership time due to her role as Assistant Head Teacher and SENCO.  Mrs Petchell will be teaching supported by Mr Hall. 

It can be tricky trying to find time to talk with teachers at an appropriate moment, especially when the matter is sensitive.  The morning is a pressure point, as they are busy settling and teaching their class, and at home time you often have an audience of children and other parents!

It is best to make an appointment to talk to your child’s teacher about anything substantial, send in a written note, email, or speak to the staff member on door duty for minor messages.

Your child will bring home a reading book weekly that is matched to the phonic sounds taught in class that week.  Please listen to your child read their book 3 times a week and write in their reading diary when they have read to you. When we change their book, we will award a sticker for every time they have read at home to put on their bookmark.  When they have a full bookmark, they will be awarded a certificate for super reading.
