Reception and Year 1 - Leo Class
The Reception/Yr 1 'Leo' class is taught by Mrs Charley Wherrett and Miss Beth Clark, Children’s learning is supported by Mrs Becky Amos and Miss Naomi Brewerton. In Leo class we follow a play based curriculum, following the children's interests and ideas. Children learn most effectively through play, so they provide a rich and creative environment in which the children can learn and develop. As well as plenty of child-led learning, we also provide opportunities for children to learn through play and activities which are guided by adults.

As Scientists and Engineers, they will be asking 'What could my classroom be made of?', exploring the properties of a range of materials and testing them to decide which would be most suitable to use to build a new outdoor reading area in our school.
