Class Information

Year 1 / 2 Class Teacher: Miss E Pearce and Mr M Dockrell

Year 1 / 2 Class Teaching Assistants: Miss A Horrobin and Miss C Wood

Hello, my name is Miss Pearce and I am Donaldson class teacher on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. When I am not teaching, I enjoy taking my dog for long walks in the countryside. I am really looking forward to teaching your children this year.

Hello, my name is Mr Dockrell and as well as being the Deputy Head Teacher, I am privileged to have the opportunity to teach Donaldson class which is very fortunate as I LOVE reading Julia Donaldson stories – my son particularly likes The Gruffalo! I’m looking forward to spending time with you at the end of the week sharing lots of great learning with you.

Welcome to Donaldson Class (Year 1/2)

Please note our parent consultation evenings are the 8th and 9th of November, more information will follow.

Please can you ensure that your child’s uniform is named and that your child brings their school reading book and a named water bottle to school with them everyday.
