Cogden Class
Cogden class, named after another beautiful local beach, is the home for Year 3 and Year 4. The class is led by Mrs D Batten, Mrs S Van Zyl and in the Spring Term Mr Harris. .
The move to Cogden Class and the start of Key Stage 2 is a significant milestone and much work is undertaken in Year 2 to ensure pupils make a smooth transition into this next stage of their school life. As with all classes, pupils enjoy a varied curriculum…and with Mrs Batten also being the Forest School Lead for the school, you can be sure to see Cogden taking their learning outside at any opportunity!
