Our Classes
Our classes
We changed our class names for the start of September 2021. After much deliberation, including consulting our children, we decided on a science-based theme. Our rationale was for two reasons. Firstly, it is part of our curriculum intent to make greater links with our science and for our children to recognise the importance of science as part of their curriculum. Our second reason was we wanted the pupils to see that scientists come from all backgrounds and ethnicities. This was a great way to get them interested in learning science.
Children enter our school and start their educational journey with all of their potential life opportunities before them. As they progress through the school, they continue their education through KS1, learning crucial life skills like resilience and determination. We will have prepared them for a world of opportunities, where every child can go on to achieve the life goals and dreams, ensuring that all children are know they can achieve and be whoever they want to be.
