Year 3 & 4 Class Teacher – Claire Round-Turner (Assistant Headmistress)

Year 2 Class Teacher – Harkirat Kaur Brar

Year 1 Class Teacher – Pavneet Kaur Pnag

Our teachers are at the heart of everything we do. They are responsible for delivering high-quality lessons that inspire and challenge every child to achieve their best. Teachers plan and prepare engaging learning experiences, assess progress, and provide feedback to help pupils grow academically and personally. They also create a safe, supportive classroom environment where children feel valued and confident.

In addition to teaching, our teachers play a vital role in pastoral care, supporting pupils’ wellbeing and personal development. They build positive relationships, provide guidance, and ensure that every child feels happy, safe, and included.

Teachers also have an important responsibility for safeguarding. They are trained to identify and report any concerns about a child’s safety or welfare, follow school safeguarding procedures, and work closely with the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) to protect pupils. This commitment ensures that every child is cared for in a secure and nurturing environment.

Sports Coaches - Inspire Sports Academy

Our sports coaches play a key role in promoting physical health, teamwork, and confidence among pupils. They are responsible for planning and delivering high-quality sports and physical education sessions that develop skills, fitness, and a love of sport. Coaches ensure activities are safe, inclusive, and enjoyable for all students, regardless of ability.

Beyond teaching techniques and rules, sports coaches encourage positive attitudes, resilience, and respect—both on and off the field. They also help identify and nurture talent, support school teams in competitions, and work closely with teachers to integrate physical education into the wider curriculum.

Importantly, sports coaches have a duty of safeguarding and wellbeing, ensuring pupils are safe during all activities and following school policies to protect every child. Their goal is to inspire healthy lifestyles and foster a sense of achievement through sport.

Music – Slough Music Trust

Our music teacher is responsible for delivering engaging and inspiring music lessons that develop pupils’ creativity, confidence, and musical skills. She plans and teaches lessons that cover a range of musical concepts, from rhythm and melody to performance and composition, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to explore and enjoy music.

Violin is the core instrument taught at our school, and pupils receive dedicated instruction to develop their technique and musicality. In addition, we host regular music workshops, giving children the chance to experience and explore a variety of other instruments, broadening their musical horizons and fostering a lifelong love of music.
