Mrs Master
Welcome to Blackbird Class
A huge welcome to Blackbird Class from Mrs Hailwood, Miss Johnstone Miss Noon, Miss Jackson, Miss Robinson and Miss Cowgill, who all work in the class at different times. Our Year 1/2 curriculum is full of topics that engage and enthuse the children to investigate, discover and explore; and our focus is on building those strong foundations to enable us to be ready for our KS2 journey through the school.
We invite our children to take a learning journey every day that challenges their curious minds, to help them reach their full potential.
