My name is Ms Stas and I have great fun teaching Years 5 and 6 alongside the fabulous Mrs Harvey and the amazing Mrs Gorton.  As I love writing, I am delighted to be the English co-ordinator this year and inspire the next generation of authors.  I love long walks with my daughter, reading in unusual places, wandering around art galleries and spending time with friends.

Ash Class Teacher
Mrs Jessopp is very happy to spend two days a week with the lovely children of Ash and teaches them on a Monday and Tuesday. Then she spends the rest of the week at home with her own lovely children. If they leave her any free time it is spent walking her dogs, creating scrapbook photo albums and working out how to use her new sewing machine.
