2013
Together we will
Aspire Achieve Sparkle
22nd June 2016
We have had a busy few weeks in school with
school trips, rock pool visitors, Aspirations
Week and the Queens Birthday Celebrations.
We are already looking towards next year
and with that in mind we would like to inform
you of our exciting news - Moorgate is
expanding further!
As we are a DFE coaching school for our 2
Year Old Provision (Mini Moorgate), we have
been given the ‘green light’ to expand our
current facility. In addition to this we have
been approached by the Local Authority to
accommodate an extra class for our
Reception intake 2016/2017.
This additional intake has implications for
extending the current building layout and we
are presently in talks with Corporate Property
Services and architects who will guide us
through the process.
Edition 15
Class Structure
From September 2016, Class Teachers will
be as follows:Year 6 – Mr P Mansfield/Mrs G Beach
Year 5 – Mr D Buchanan
Year 4 – Miss K Swithenbank
Year 3B – Miss R Bateman
Year 3C – Mrs D Clare
Year 2 – Miss S Montgomery
(Will be Mrs Ellis in September)
Year 1 – Miss K Durham
Reception RG – Miss R Grundy
Reception RA – Mrs H Ashton
Nursery – Miss Rebecca Lee
Within our discussions we will be putting
forward parent suggestions e.g. a larger hall,
which has been on our agenda for some time.
Mini Moorgate – Mrs L Smith
There will be some obvious disruption and
changes around school during this time, as
building work will not be completed by the
start of the Autumn term in September
Deputy Head Teacher – Mr P Mansfield
As with the successful programme of work
from our previous building project, we once
again ask for your co-operation,
understanding and support.
May we take this opportunity to assure you
that your child's education and well-being will
not be disrupted or compromised in any way.
Regular updates will follow. Thank you
Head Teacher – Mrs D Hopwood
Assistant Head Teacher – Mrs H Ashton
Assistant Head Teacher – Mr D Buchanan

Class Teacher Changes from September 2016
Miss Rachel Lee our current Year 2L class teacher will be leaving Moorgate to take up a new position at another

We would like to welcome three new members of staff to Moorgate from September. Miss R Bateman will be our
Year 3B class teacher, Miss Rebecca Lee will be our new Nursery teacher, and Mrs D Lewis will be our new
administration assistant.
Mrs D Clare is looking forward to a new opportunity of teaching in Key Stage 2 and will be our new
Year 3C class teacher.
