Welcome to Acorn Class!
In Acorn class you will find our Reception and Year 1 children. They are taught by Mrs Petrie (Mondays to Thursdays) and Mrs Waller (Fridays). Mrs Collinson works full time as the class teaching assistant. Acorn class can be found in our Victorian block which is the original school building for our beautiful village. Acorn class share this building with the children who attend Collingtree Day Nursery (children can attend here from 2 years old and their website is: http://www.collingtreedaynursery.co.uk)
The learning environment for the children consists of the main classroom, conservatory (for messy learning) and our wonderful outdoor learning space (see below):
