Owls
Welcome to Owl class!
Your class teachers are Mrs Clarke (Mon-Weds) and Mrs Schulen (Thurs-Fri). Mrs Froud and Mrs Cuthbert support in class.
This week (9/2/2026)
This week is our assessment week for maths, reading, spelling and grammar and punctuation. We use standardised tests, which are similar to Key Stage 2 SATS. The children are made aware that the assessments are to allow the teachers a better understanding of what they've learnt so far. They are not to worry but we encourage them to try their best!
We will share the results with you as soon as we've marked the papers.
Maths
We follow the White Rose scheme at Bacton, which also provides many useful resources for parents to use at home:
