Dear Parents and Carers,
I am writing to inform you of the arrangements regarding classes for 2026/2027. Please find included a table which confirms your child’s new class and class teacher. Please note, this is subject to change should we have any unforeseen circumstances.
If your child is moving to Year 3 you will receive a text message confirming which class your child is in as the classes have been reorganised. If you have any questions about the class arrangements please see your child’s current Phase Leader.
If your child will be accessing the Sea Otters or River Otters classes, a member of staff will have already discussed this with you.

If you would like to see where your child's new classroom is or introduce yourself to the new teacher ahead of the September 'meet the teacher' session, please ask a member of staff on duty who will be happy to point you in the right direction.
In addition, you will notice from the list that we have a few changes in staffing for next year. We are pleased to welcome back Mr Donowa, who has been on secondment at another school in the Trust, and also welcome Miss Sutton, a very experienced teacher who will be joining us. We will be saying goodbye to four of our teachers who are moving on to other opportunities: Miss Smart, Miss Soames, Miss Adams and Mrs Padbury. We wish them all the best in their new endeavours.
Thank you for your continued support.
