Welcome

Mr Cairns
Meet your teacher
Mr Cairns
Hey everyone, I’m Mr Cairns – your class teacher for Year 6! I’m here to make our classroom a super friendly and fun place to be. I want us to work hard and be our best so we’re all set for secondary school, which seems like a long way off but it’ll come round quick.
When I’m not teaching, I love playing football and swinging a golf club so I try to play these sports as much as I can! It’s a great way to switch my brain off. Apart for sports, the rest of my weekends are all about chilling with my new best friend, my new son, a cheeky chap who keeps me busy and on my toes. He’s just turned one so he is becoming a bit of a handfull! Whether you want to chat footie, golf or baby adventures, I’m all ears. Let’s have an amazing school year together, and smash year 6 as a team!
Meet your teaching assistant
Mrs Elvidge
Hey there! I’m your new class teaching assistant – Mrs Elvidge. I’m always up for a laugh and try my best to bring some spontaneous fun into the classroom.
When the weekend rolls around, you’ll find me off on adventures, exploring new places and trying new things. My guilty pleasure? Definitely binge-watching Strictly Come Dancing – I just can’t get enough! In fact, I like to think of myself as a bit of a dancer too, so why not pop by the breakfast club and see my moves in action? I am looking forward to having a blast and making learning fun together!
