Hello!

The teachers in Year 2 are Mr Rowell (St John) and Miss Williams (St Margaret).

Year 2 is a pivotal year in a child’s education as they come to the end of their time in Key Stage 1. We are able to build on the knowledge, skills and experiences of their journey so far. For our school, it is also children’s last year ‘downstairs’ and pupils have the opportunity to act as role models for our Lower School phase before they move into Key Stage 2.

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 Saints

St John the Baptist:

John the Baptist was a mission preacher active in the area of Jordan River in the early 1st century AD. He was a cousin of Jesus and is sometimes alternatively referred to as John the Baptiser. Pope Pius XII declared John Baptist de La Salle the Patron Saint of Teachers. His feast day is 24th June.

 

St Margaret Clitherow:

Margaret Clitherow was an English saint and martyr of the Roman Catholic Church, known as “the Pearl of York”. She was pressed to death for refusing to enter a plea to the charge of harbouring Catholic priests. She was canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul VI. She is known as the patron saint of businesswomen. Her feast day is 25th March.
