Meet your teachers
Mrs Burnett
Hello! My name is Mrs Burnett and I am really looking forward to teaching you all day on Monday and Tuesday and also on Wednesday mornings. Year 2 is my favourite year group to teach so I know we are going to learn so much and have so much fun! I am looking forward to getting to know you all and find out what kind of things you enjoy. I love going to the gym, taking my dachshund, Benji, for a walk and spending
time with my husband and grown up son. Reading is one of my favourite things and I love writing too, so I can’t wait to share some of this with you! I hope everyone has a lovely summer break and comes back excited to start a new adventure in Year 2 in September!

Mrs Kelsall
My name is Mrs. Kelsall, here’s a little about myself and what I get up to when I am not working in school. In my spare time myself and my husband volunteer and run Rotherham Sea Cadets. I’m the Executive Officer and we teach children between 10-18 years of age. We help them to gain confidence and give them life skills to better prepare themselves for whatever life has in store for them. I presently hold the Royal Navy rank of Petty Officer and I get lots of enjoyment from it. I also have two children and we all do this hobby together as a family. This hobby does take most of my time up, but when I do get a few minutes I love craft and making cards.
