Welcome to Class 2, Foundation Stage 2
My name is Miss Darbyshire, I am a Curriculum Specialist in Foundation Stage. I have worked in early years for over 20 years and especially enjoy reading with the children. In my spare time I love walking in the local area, holidays away (somewhere warm) and reading. I also enjoy spending time with my family as I have two grown up sons.
