I am pleased to be able to inform you of the teachers for the next academic year (September 2025). Please see the grid below for who is in which class.
We have restructured the current Reception children before they move in to their new year group, this is the norm for our school. Parents of children in Reception will receive another email in the next 6 hours informing you of your child’s class teacher. If you have not received an email letting you know this by 3.15pm, please come and ask at the school office.

TRANSITION
As always, we plan carefully for a smooth transition (children moving from one class to another through the school). We plan to make sure children adapt to their new environment and teachers, building the children’s confidence and trying to reduce any anxieties they have.
We have planned two sessions for the children to spend some time with their new teacher in their new classroom. The first session is 9.30-11.30am on Thursday 19th June 2025 and the second is 9.15am-1.15pm on Wednesday 25th June 2025, when the Y2 children will have their lunch in the juniors.
Staffing Update
I am sad to inform you that Tom Fell (teacher), Sylwia Wislowska (TA) and Yanina Mereshchak (TA) will be leaving Berkeley Primary School at the end of the academic year. They have all been invaluable members of our teaching staff for several years, and their dedication to our children has been truly commendable. We will deeply miss their presence and contributions to our school community.
Tom will be starting at a new school in September. Sylwia is taking the exciting leap to complete her teacher qualification, joining the North Lincolnshire SCITT programme in September. Yanina has made the decision to return to the Ukraine, rejoining her family. We wish them all well in their future.
If you have any queries regarding any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.
