Hello and welcome to the Year 4 page!
Introduction to Year 4
In Year 4 we have a colourful, inviting classroom, overlooking the Ks2 playground, the school field and Gentleshaw Common in the distance. We always try our best in lessons and we work hard to demonstrate the Academy HART Values of Honesty, Adventure, Resilience and Teamwork.
