The Wedgwood Family
Beginning as an independent potter aged just 29, Josiah Wedgwood experimented avidly with clay, exploring its many possibilities.
He is today remembered as the “Father of English Potters”. His pioneer spirit, vigorous design policy, and his commitment to exacting standards of quality are values that remain at the heart of the brand today.

Don’t forget to wear your PE kit to school on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Also, just a reminder that the children cannot wear earrings within the PE lessons for health and safety.
Year 2 are Charnwood’s ‘Wellbeing Warriors’. We have been talking about our wellbeing and have been trying to complete random acts of kindness.
Wellbeing
We understand that sometimes the return to school after a break can be difficult and will do everything we can to support your child. Please be assured that our classroom will continue to be the safe, fun and engaging place it has always been. The return to school will be CALM and all the children will be looked after. If you ever wish to contact us please use Class Dojo to message us – no worry too small – and we will respond as soon as we are able.
For more information about how we are approaching the return to school and plan to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that supports your child’s academic needs alongside their emotional wellbeing please read out Recovery Curriculum Document.
SEND
If your child has specific additional interventions in connection with an IEP or outside support agency Mrs Stafford will be in touch to provide you with resources to support at home. You can also find additional support on the SEND page of this website.
