Maple Class

Welcome to Maple Class

Maple Class is a fun, busy, and happy learning environment. The class is led by Miss Leigh, with support from Miss Watkins.

We are a mixed Reception, Year One, and Year Two class. Our teaching is carefully planned to meet the needs of all children, providing a variety of learning experiences including whole-class teaching, small-group work, 1:1 support, and continuous provision activities. Our curriculum and knowledge overviews can be found in Cycle B.

Physical Education (PE)
Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure children come to school wearing their PE kit on these days.
