Hazel Class

 

Hi, my name is Mr Park and I teach Hazel Class. I’ve been a teacher at St Werburgh’s for five years - and love being part of this community. I’ve been a teacher for over thirty years, but love the fresh challenge every year brings and finding new and better ways to make lessons fun and effective. I lead KS2 Maths and History across the school.

Week commencing 10th May 2027 SATS week. Children will be asked to come and join us for a SATS breakfast from 8am.
