Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

We look forward to working with all parents and children this year. There are 5 teachers:

Mrs. Sofroniou – Snake Class/ Achievement year leader

Miss Bashir & Miss Juggernauth - Chameleon Class

Miss Fuller - Jaguar Class

Miss Laksham - Hedgehog Class

Mr Deller - Bear Class

We are committed to providing quality education for children to reach their full potential and achieve success. We are here to ensure all children feel valued and secure in their classes. We want Year 2 to be a friendly, welcoming year group where the children feel happy and safe.

We will be using the indoor and outdoor area to learn. Children will work as part of a small group and as part of a whole class. We plan for our children’s learning through topics.
