Welcome to Reception - Cherry Class

Class Teachers: Miss Martha Barnes​

I am so pleased to be beginning another year in the Early Years, where I have been teaching for the past five years. This year, I'm especially looking forward to working more closely with our Preschool, helping to build even stronger links and create a seamless transition for children as they take their very first steps into school. I love seeing children grow from curious little learners into confident, independent individuals, and I'm passionate about making those first experiences of school happy, nurturing, and full of exciting opportunities.

​

My aim is to create a calm, welcoming classroom where every child feels happy, safe, and valued. I enjoy encouraging children to become resilient, creative, independent, and confident learners, helping each one to flourish and achieve their very best.

​

Away from the classroom, I enjoy reading and have always loved dancing, which I grew up doing. Both have taught me the importance of imagination, expression, and joy—qualities I try to bring into our learning every day. It’s a privilege to support children as they begin their school journey, and I feel so lucky to share these special first steps with them.
