Assistant Teacher

Mr. Hartley

I have now worked at St.Andrews for over 11 years in numerous positions and year groups. Most recently taking on the Assistant Headteacher role as well as being in Year 5 for the past four years. On a personal note I am very much into sport. I have played and watched every sport you could think of at some point during my life, with football ranking at the top. I have also completed numerous types of events for charity. I also have a dog called Marley, who I love taking for long walks come rain or shine.  My favourite subjects are Maths and PE. I am most looking forward to teaching the World War 2 topic this year in Class 5a. 

Miss. Dewhurst and Miss. Allen

We are very lucky to have both Miss Dewhurst and Miss Allen with us in Class 5a this year. Miss Dewhurst has worked at St. Andrews for the last four years in various year groups. She likes spending time with her family and going on holiday.  Her favourite subject is PE and she is looking forward to learning all about Natural disasters and World War 2. Miss Allen, who has worked at St.Andrew's for 10 years, will be working with us in the afternoons this year. Her favourite lesson is Art and favourite topics are Vicious Vikings and World War 2.

Topics

The topics we will be covering this year are:

  • Autumn 1 – Vicious Vikings
  • Autumn 2 – Fair trade
  • Spring 1 – Crime and punishment
  • Spring 2 – Natural disasters
  • Summer 1- World War 2
  • Summer 2- Traffic and travel

Homework 

Children will be set English, Maths and/or Topic homework weekly. The homework will relate to the work we have been doing in class that week or the work we will be doing in the upcoming week. Homework will be set on a Friday and children can receive £3 (School money) if they bring it back on Monday, £2 Tuesday and £1 Wednesday. Homework club for help and support will be on Monday break time.

Key Dates to Remember

Your child’s PE lessons will take place on a Tuesday and Thursday meaning children need to bring in their PE kits every Monday or be left in school. Full PE kit is expected during lessons with pumps that fit in case we decide to work outside and no jewellery is to be worn on this day.  

In Year 5 we have an open door policy. If you have anything that you would like to discuss, please don’t hesitate to come into school and speak to us. I will also be available on Dojo. If you would like to follow my school Twitter account, you can find me @Mr.Hartley21

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to the year ahead.

Mr. Hartley
