Welcome to Holmes Class


Hello! My name is Miss Wood and from September 2024, I will be the new Year 5 teacher at Sandhurst. After spending my childhood in the area, I moved to London five years ago for university and since have taught Year 6 at a school in Twickenham for the last two years.

I love to teach through cross-curricular project based learning and enjoy spending as much time as possible outside: I am really looking forward to utilising the fantastic outside spaces at Sandhurst! One of my main passions is being creative so I enjoy fostering this in class through activities which use a range of resources and mediums to showcase learning. As well as a creative space, our Year 5 classroom will be a respectful, considerate and kind environment founded on teamwork.

As this will be the first year with an independent Year 5 class at Sandhurst, I am looking forward to seeing the fun and different experiences that we can have throughout the year – watch this space!
