Welcome to Nightingale

Our Class Aims

In Nightingale Class, our aim is to provide children with an environment that they feel a sense of belonging in. Children are taught that the classroom is a safe place, where mistakes are recognised as learning points, and expressing yourself is encouraged and respected. We encourage children to develop their independence, use their voice and become resilient learners. Positive relationships between children and adults in Nightingale Class are important to us and we build these on trust, mutual respect and by having fun.

Meet Our Team

Mrs Z Harris

I started volunteering in the Nursery in 2009 to gain a Teaching Assistant Level 3 NVQ. After achieving this, I then became a full time member of the school and have since worked in FS2, Goldfinch, Year 1 and Year 5. I recently achieved a BA Honours degree in Children’s Development at Reading University and became a qualified teacher in July 2020. I enjoy working with children to help them develop their confidence and creativity. In my spare time I love playing darts and spending time with my family. 

Miss J Hodgson

I started working at Manor in 1999 and have enjoyed working with children right across the school. In recent years I have enjoyed being a staff governor, taking particular interest in supporting the school's health and safety work. I enjoy encouraging children to develop their confidence and independence skills as they get ready for the next step in their lives.
