Mrs Tilley
I am Mrs Tilley (previously Miss Farrall) and I have taught at our school since 2016. During that time, I have taught across both Key Stage One and Key Stage Two where I have loved delivering all stages of the curriculum.
In 2015, I completed a degree in English and Creative writing. I thoroughly enjoy being creative through the mediums of art, writing, drama and poetry with the children, around the classroom and at home. I very much enjoy reading and love to listen to Audiobooks when I am out and about in the car, especially on long drives to Stoke-on-Trent where I grew up. My love of reading and writing has been a great help in my role as the English leader since 2018.
Outside of school, I enjoy travelling to different cities as well as camping with friends and family. During the summer, you’ll often find me pitched somewhere off the coast offering to light the next campfire before the sun has begun to set.
Our Learning
Year 2 is a very important year, as the children consolidate what they have already learnt in Year 1 and deepen their knowledge and understanding across all subjects.
Using an enquiry based approached, Year 2 will continuously provide the children with many excellent learning opportunities that will spark their knowledge and interests in new and existing areas. Each day, we will provide various opportunities for children to explore new ideas and concepts, in a manner that is both engaging, challenging as well as developing important life skills such as independence, self-confidence, resilience and co-operation.
In Year 2, there will concentrated focus on reading, ensuring every child is listened to at least twice a week. In addition, there will be daily whole class reading sessions where the children will be taught the skills of reading and comprehension. We will continue to foster a love of reading by providing a wide selection of quality, diverse, engaging texts.
