Welcome to Blue Area.  In Blue Area, we have three classes.

Turquoise Class (Year 4) - Miss Phelps

Topaz Class (Year 3/4) - Mr Balch and Miss Warlow

Mr Balch will teach Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays in Topaz.

Miss Warlow will teach Wednesdays and Thursdays in Topaz Class.

There are also the following teaching assistants in Blue Area:

Mr Stevens (HLTA)

Miss Langman (TA)

Miss Holbrook (SENTA)

PPA (planning, preparation and assessment) cover is also provided for the teachers in Blue Area by Swift Sports Teachers and Mr Stevens and will be on a Monday afternoon.

If you have any messages, questions or queries, please write a note in your child’s school planner and ask them to show the planner to their teacher. (Planners are only collected in by the teacher on Mondays) Alternatively, you can make an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher via the school office.

PE Days

On PE days, the children should come to school wearing their PE kit. For safety purposes, earrings should be removed for PE lessons. Earrings can be covered with tape for the 6 weeks after the initial piercing but should then be removed for PE activities.  If your child cannot take them out themselves, please ensure they are taken out and left at home.

PE days are as follows:

Turquoise Class: Monday

Topaz Class: Monday

Sapphire Class: Monday

As a school, we are no longer using planners for daily communication with teachers.  Please send an email to the office with any information you wish to be passed on in the morning of each day and they will pass it on to us.   Alternatively, you may be able to catch us to pass on a quick message as we collect the children from the playground in the morning. If you require a longer meeting, please email the office to make an appointment at a mutually acceptable time. Thank you.
