Wrens 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Wrens Class 

Our Class Ethos

With a strong focus on encouraging Communication We care for each other, while having fun learning and celebrating our achievements.

Hello my name is Julie and I am the teacher in Wren Class.

In Wren Class the needs of individual pupils are at the heart of everything we do.  We are creative in our approach and have a cross curricular termly topic, teaching activities are informed by the school curriculum and pupils personal needs and interests.  We aim to provide a bespoke learning environment for each pupil and use a combination of approaches and strategies to achieve this.

In Wrens we have strong focus on developing Social and Communication Skills. We adopt a total communication approach. This means we value any form of communication, behaviour, gesture, visual symbols, sign language, as well as spoken words. We use visual aids including symbols to promote communication and social skills during teaching activities.

Pupil’s personal social and emotional needs are supported using consistent routines and boundaries. Provision for the pupil's sensory needs are an integral part of our daily routines and teaching activities.

We recognise the importance of links between learning at home and improved outcomes for pupils when we get this right. Sharing ideas, as well as staying informed about achievements they make at home and school is fundamental. I am available before and after school each day if you would like to speak to me either in person or by telephone or drop me an email.
