Welcome to Willow

Welcome to Willow Class, the home of our fantastic Year 6 pupils.

Year 6 is a really special time — the last part of Primary school, full of new challenges, exciting learning and growing independence.

In Willow Class, we work hard, have fun and support each other every day. We enjoy hands-on activities, big questions, creative projects and getting outside whenever we can. No two days are ever the same!

Most of all, Willow Class is a friendly, welcoming place where everyone feels safe, included and encouraged to do their best. We’re proud of who we are and excited for everything this year will bring.

Come and see what we get up to — we think you’ll love it here.

Form Team Overview

Chaigeley School Life May 2025 - By Mike Moss Photography-88

Andrew is new to Chaigeley this year but already loves being part of the school. He has taught Year 6 many times before and enjoys helping pupils feel confident and ready for the big move to Year 7. He loves being outdoors, reading and playing the guitar — and brings lots of enthusiasm and creativity to the class each day.

Sarah has been at Chaigeley for around 18 months. She loves singing, family time and spending time with friends. What she enjoys most about working at Chaigeley is that every day is different — the children are fantastic, and helping them grow makes her genuinely happy.

Chantelle has worked at Chaigeley for two years and loves seeing how the children grow and progress through school. She enjoys going on holiday, making memories and listening to music, and brings a calm, caring presence to the team.

Things to look forward to…
