Welcome to Deer Class

 We are a Key Stage 3 class of 10 pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9.

The staff are Mrs Barker (teacher), Mrs Burton (HLTA), Mrs McKenna (TA) and Mr Lomax (1:1).

Mrs Burton will teach the class Art, Technology and Careers. Mrs Green (teaching assistant) will provide support for a couple of sessions during the week.

PE is on a Wednesday afternoon, please can pupils come into school in their kit.

Throughout the year we will have additional curriculum activities, for example karate, gardening and live music now. We will send communication about these at the start the term they are happening.

Pupils are welcome to bring a healthy snack to have at morning break time and we recommend that a water bottle with fresh water be provided every day. A reminder that we are a nut free school.

Each pupil in Deer Class is given a home-school book. This is a way of communicating any important messages and information, however time will always be found should you want to discuss something by telephone, just add a note into the home-school book or contact the office.

English and Maths homework is sent out each Monday. This includes spellings that will be tested on a Friday. Please ensure that pupils also read regularly at home, this can be recorded in their yellow reading record.

On Thursday morning, the class will take part in a café/life skills session. There is no additional money needed for this.

Check out the Deer Class page on our school website for details of the topics we will be working on this year. We will also send out a curriculum overview each term.

You can also see pictures and videos of some of the work we have done. We also endeavour to update you regularly via EFL.

We are looking forward to having a fun and exciting year!

Mrs Barker and the class team
