Hello there, I'm Miss Beckham (Unfortunately, I'm not related to David). My earliest memory is always of me playing schools in my room with my teddies and younger sister and I'm so grateful to now be doing what I love every day! When I left college, I studied Primary Teaching at Brighton University where I made life long friends, all who live and breathe teaching and share the same passion as me. At university, I worked in many different primary schools and started my journey at Sandown in 2022. I'm alpaca obsessed and have been lucky enough to take 7 different alpacas on a trek - in the summer, I even got to camp in a field full of them! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and I love an adventure. I have climbed Ben Nevis and Snowdon and hope to climb Scafel Pike very soon. I have also recently taken up rock climbing, which sometimes turns my legs into jelly, and I also enjoy archery (which I am qualified to instruct). I would love to share my passion with the children and hope to start up an archery after-school club very soon - so keep your eyes peeled!

Alongside the learning that takes place in Year 5, our main aim for all of the children is for them to enjoy themselves, to continue to develop good social skills and to develop an independence that will stand them in good stead for Year 6 and beyond. We deliver the curriculum in a variety of ways to make learning interesting and fun for the children. For example, we try to be creative and flexible in our use of ICT and Art to enhance the learning in other subjects.

Other activities that Year 5 children will be involved in during the year include:

  • Visitors throughout the year
  • A stargazing evening
  • A Viking Invasion
  • Many Science investigations

Communication between home and school is crucial throughout your child’s time at school and though we appreciate that as your child gets older you may not pick up your child from the classroom door, you can remain in contact with us easily through Class Dojo.

Our door is always open!

Please remember:

  • your child needs a clear, re-usable plastic bottle filled with water for use in the classroom
  • PE kit must be named with appropriate footwear and worn on class PE days
  • School dinners are now cashless for non free school meal children. Please speak to the office for further information if you have not set this up.
  • Book bags must be brought to school daily.
