Hello!

Year 1’s class teacher is Miss Fisher.

We believe Year 1 is the best year of all in school, because we receive wonderful children from Foundation Stage who are growing in confidence, eager to learn, and ready to begin their journey through the next two Key Stages of their education. We love working with our Early Years team to ensure a smooth transition and seeing children blossom within a more formalised school environment.

On this page you will find a brief overview of our plans for the year, some general reminders and useful websites to support learning at home

Our Class Saint

St Cecilia:

Saint Cecilia was a Roman virgin martyr and is venerated in Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, and some Lutheran churches, such as the Church of Sweden. She became the patroness of music and musicians, it being written that, as the musicians played at her wedding, Cecilia “sang in her heart to the Lord”. Her feast day is 22nd November.
