Meet your teachers
MS Hartley- F2 TEACHER
Hello I am Mrs Hartley and am the teacher in F2. I love everything early years and love being able to see how our youngest children continue to thrive and be part of that learning journey. EYFS is a very special place to be. I love stories and cannot wait to read our favourite books together.
