Year 3
Welcome to Year 3!
My name is Miss Bennett, and I am the class teacher. I have been at West Meadows for 6 years and completed my teacher training here. I have recently taken on the role as DT lead, writing and developing our design and technology curriculum across school. I am also the school’s Eco Coordinator, and I am passionate about ensuring we become a more sustainable school. Along with myself, Miss Taylor is our classroom teaching assistant who supports children in and out of the classroom.
