Haddon Class is a mixed-age class of Year 1 and 2. There are currently 30 children in this class. For morning sessions, Haddon is split into year groups. Year 1s are taught by Miss O'Shea, whilst Year 2s are taught by Miss Johnson. Year 1 and 2 are taught together in the afternoons by Miss O'Shea. The class is supported by Mrs Tannahill and Miss Phillips, in the mornings and by Mrs Hargreaves and Mrs Byard in the afternoon.
The children in Haddon Class love to learn through exploration and play.
