Walnut Class
In Walnut class, we have 11 children who are ranging from year 5 to year 7. We learn through a mixture of academic lessons and interactive thrive sessions using the school’s holistic approach to learning. We are working really hard in all areas of learning to gain independence and improve our knowledge and skills. We always start our day with a phonics and then a walk around the Golden Mile. Every day we also enjoy snack time, listening to our class book and our Walnut wind down time at the end of the day.
Jake has been at The Mendip School Since 2017. He has taught across all key stages and currently oversees the Ansford provision. Jake is a keen cyclist and loves the outdoors.
