Mrs James
Our teachers are Mrs. James and Mrs. Law. We are supported by Mrs. Hoadley.
We believe that working cooperatively with others is the key to learning. We always aim high but also know that making mistakes is sometimes the best way to move forward. Our class environment is one that promotes fun, kindness and team spirit and we like nothing more than a challenge.
