Welcome to the Year 4 Page
Producing lifelong learners in a safe and nurturing environment.
We have two classes: Mrs. G. Harris teaches one; Mrs. C. Taylor teaches the other. We have fantastic support from Mrs. A. Watson and Mrs. J. Platt, our Teaching Assistants. There are times, however, when classes are swapped to reflect our teaching strengths; for example Mrs Taylor leads all Year 4 P.E. and Mrs Harris leads Music. We plan together but our teaching will reflect the strengths and interests of each class.
