Miss Sharples
Assistant Headteacher, EYFS Lead and SENDCO
Welcome to our Infant 1 Reception Class. In class we have children aged four to five years and we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Each area of learning and developmental matter is taught through planned, purposeful play and through a mix of adult-led and child-initiated activity which includes daily Maths and Literacy. Play is essential for children’s development, building their confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and relate to others. Children learn by leading their own play, and by taking part in play which is guided by adults. PE takes place each Friday.
The children will have reading books and will also be learning new sounds and words each day as part of their Phonic sessions. We encourage children to read each night at home and practise their sounds to support their learning in school. Your child will have a reading diary in which you will be able to write a comment each night. Details of homework tasks can be found in your child’s homework book.
Don’t forget to take a look at our ‘See-Saw’ app to see the type of work and activities taking place in class. We also keep parents up to date with class news and life through our weekly newsletter which are available via the class pages section of the school website and our school Facebook page. These can also be accessed using the links at the bottom of this page and will outline dates for our drop in workshops. We would love to see you there!
Miss Sharples.

KS1 Lead & Class Teacher

Mr B Eaton
KS2 Lead & Class Teacher
Welcome to Junior 5!
I’m Mr Eaton, and it is a real privilege to be returning to Cobbs Brow—the primary school I attended as a child. The school holds many happy memories for me, so I am incredibly proud to have the opportunity to teach here and to lead the Junior Department. I hope the children in Junior 5 will enjoy their time at Cobbs Brow just as much as I did and create many special memories of their own.
Junior 5 is a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 class. We are lucky to have Miss Shallcross as our teaching assistant who will support the children throughout the week. Mrs Pugh will be teaching the class for a few lessons in the afternoon, with Mr Jennings conducting our weekly PE lesson on Wednesdays.
Maths and English are taught each morning, followed by a broad range of foundation subjects during the afternoons. Across the curriculum, children will build their knowledge, explore new ideas and learn how to apply their understanding in different ways. There will be plenty of opportunities for discussion, problem-solving, practical investigation and creativity. Our aim is for children to enjoy their learning, feel confident contributing to lessons and leave Junior 5 knowing more, remembering more and being ready for their next stage.
Junior 5 will be a happy, welcoming classroom built upon kindness, respect and teamwork. We will set high expectations, take pride in our work and celebrate the effort that leads to success. Children will be encouraged to approach challenges with resilience and a strong growth mindset, recognising that mistakes are part of learning and that the most rewarding achievements often require determination and perseverance.
Our class motto reflects this:
“If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.”
We look forward to sharing our learning, achievements and memorable moments with families throughout the year. Please keep checking Seesaw and the school’s Facebook page for regular updates from Junior 5.
I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to working with the children and their families.

Mrs Borland
Class Teacher
Hello! My name is Mrs Borland and I’m delighted to be the class teacher in Acorns Nursery here at Cobbs Brow, where I have been working as a teacher for the past year. I am passionate about supporting young children to thrive and I am excited to be part of your child’s early learning journey.
Before training as a teacher, I spent 11 wonderful years working in an outstanding nursery, where I developed a strong foundation in early years education. I hold BTEC National Diploma in Early Years and a BA Hons in Childhood and Youth Studies, which I completed prior to QTS. I am currently trained in Paediatric First Aid, ensuring your child’s safety and well-being is always top priority.
Becoming a mum of my two daughters, now 5 and 2, inspired me to further my journey into teaching. I truly understand how important the early are for children and families. I believe every child us unique and capable, and I am committed to supporting each one to be their very best.
I have a particular passion for outdoor learning, creative and sensory (malleable) play, and building strong, nurturing relationships with both children and their families. Outside of work, I cherish family days out with my girls and enjoy finding new adventures we can explore together.
I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child and working closely with you throughout their time in Acorns Nursery.

I love to dance and believe that it is a fun activity that encourages bright young minds to build confidence and coordination. I’m looking forward to running an after-school dance club for your children.

Welcome to Junior 2!
I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year alongside Miss Whittle, our fantastic teaching assistant. I can’t wait to make lots of fun memories together this year!
Our class is a mixed Year 3 and 4 class. Each morning, the children will be taught English and Maths, followed by a range of core and foundation subjects during the afternoon sessions. P.E sessions take place every Friday with Mr Jennings so the children can come into school this day in their P.E kit.
The children have a reading book and a weekly spelling list for home learning. We encourage the children to read each night at home with you and practise their spellings to support their learning in school. On Fridays, children will receive Maths and English home learning to complete and be returned to school.
Please check our Seesaw app regularly to see the learning and activities taking place in class. We like to keep parents up to date with class news and life through this app and on our weekly newsletter, which can be accessed using the links at the bottom of this page.
