Mr Cairns

Meet your teacher

Mr Cairns

Welcome to Legendary Lions Y5/6, your final year at Rawmarsh Sandhill Primary School! My name is Mr Cairns and I’ll be your teacher for the upcoming school year. I’m really looking forward to teaching you all and watching you grow into mature young adults.

Outside school, I love to play football and golf. I also enjoy going to the gym!

We have lots of fun and exciting activities to look forward to, as well as our Robinhood residential towards the end of the year. This year, it is essential that you work really hard, push yourselves so you can achieve and reach your goals and develop your resilience as we will be doing SATS. However, there is no need to worry about this as we will take it all in our strides and I’ll be here to support you every step of the way. Let’s rise to the challenge!
