Miss Lapping
Meet your teacher
Miss Lapping
Hello, I’m Miss Lapping and I’ve been teaching since 2017 but I’ve been looking after children in various job roles for many years. I love teaching, mostly because it means I get to be a little bit silly sometimes and laugh a lot every day! I like all things sci-fi and fantasy; my favourites being, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.
Meet your teaching assistant
Mrs Critchlow
Hello everyone. My name is Mrs Critchlow and I am a teaching assistant . Two of my children came to Ashwood School and now I have joined the marvellous Ashwood team.
I enjoy family days out and being creative in my spare time.

Miss Simpson
Hello, I am Miss Simpson. I LOVE to read, listening to the children reading, and getting them to enjoy what they are reading. My favourite part of being in class is helping the children with all their learning and making it a fun. I am always here to listen and enjoy watching the children flourish.

Class Information
Our ClassDojo account will be updated regularly with lots of messages, dojo points and picture updates – it is important that you are engaging with this on a regular basis. Some transition activities will also be posted on there so let me know if you’re having trouble setting it up.
Homework will be given weekly and will be marked in school time.
Your attendance this year is extremely important and is the key to your success. Please ensure you are on time, every day and ready to learn in the classroom. I’ll see you in September!
