My Teachers
Miss Phoebe James
I am Miss James, I am the Rabbits Class Teacher, I will be teaching all day monday - Friday. I have been a teacher at St John's since September 2021. I have been a teacher for 6 years, previously I have taught year 1 and 2, but Reception is definitely my favourite! I love sharing stories and being creative, especially with paints and play dough!
I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching Reception this year, and I am very much looking forward to another exciting year with all of you.

I started in Year 1 but have spent the last 5 years in Reception getting to have the most amazing time with the littlest of the St John's school family.
Prior to starting at St John's, I worked in a local Specialist Provision school.
I have a daughter who is under 4, so when I am not at school exploring, making and creating happy memories here. I will be doing just the same at home.

I love the days that working with Reception bring, it is lots of fun and a privilege to be part of such a wonderful time in your child's life.
