7th July 2009 Dear Parents, Class Organisation for September 2009.I am pleased to inform you about classes for September 2009. Current imbalance in numbers across our Year groups necessitates the continued mixing of age groups, but wherever this occurs the school is committed to a strong focus on individual development and progress. Our 'mixed age' classes are designed to reduce class size and promote on-going personal development of all pupils. Our organisational structure for September 2009 is as follows: Mrs Payne Reception (24 pupils) supported by Mrs Hardy Mrs Locke Year 1 and 2 (27 pupils) supported by Mrs Gallimore, Mrs Hole, Mrs Blakey and Mrs Hardy (pm autumn term only) Mrs Berry/Mrs Pitcher Year 2 and 3 (27 pupils) supported by Mrs Hassell Mr Higson-Guy Year 3 and 4 (19 pupils) supported by Mrs Neal Mrs Katrina Halford Year 5 (24 pupils) supported by Mrs Neal Miss Stacey Coysh Year 6 (30 pupils) supported by Mrs Pepper Pupils on roll: 151 As you will note our roll has begun to rise and we expect new pupils to enter in the coming terms. Allied to the success of our Pre School in growing our numbers entering Reception, prospective new entrants to St Andrew's can help to move us back towards a seventh class. All the children will be meeting next year's teacher on Friday 10th July. Please be assured of our continued concern for the progress and well being of your child and we look forward to meeting you early in the new term to share our plans for the coming year.
