Mrs Bethell will continue to lead a KS1 only class consisting of year 1 and 2. They will be supported by an additional TA (TBC) and will be in what is now the squirrel classroom. They are really lucky as they will have an outside learning space to access all year round, which is a good opportunity for KS1 to transition from the EYFS into the more formal learning of KS1 expectations.

Miss Waters will continue to lead year 3 and 4 in her usual classroom. She will be joined by a TA. Since Miss Waters works a four day week her Monday will be covered by Miss Spaul in the morning and Mrs Kelf in the afternoon. Mrs Kelf is training to become an HLTA. Miss Boxall will also be leading Owl’s PE on Wednesdays, she is also training to become an HLTA and a sports coach with Norfolk CC. Owl class will also be supported by a full time TA (TBC).

Mr Hunt has agreed to join us for a further year but will be reducing his working week to four days. He will be covered by Miss Spaul in the mornings on Fridays and Mrs Kelf in the afternoon. Mrs Kelf will be leading Otters PSHE on Friday afternoons, as this is her area of expertise, being a trained Drawing and Talking practitioner. We are really excited to support our staff to grow and become even more skilled and confident in their role as educators. Otters will also be supported by a full time TA (TBC).
