Horse Chestnut Class

Welcome to Horse Chestnut Class

Horse Chestnut Class is an enthusiastic group of kind and welcoming Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 children. They learn together in a cosy, upstairs classroom with easy access to the school library and views to the village green behind.

Mrs Thackway is the Class Teacher for Horse Chestnut Class on Monday - Thursday and Mrs Barrick, our Head of School, teaches them on Fridays.

Horse Chestnut Class are also very lucky to have two, full-time teaching assistants available to support their learning - Miss Harris and Mrs Chandler.
