Hello and welcome to Eagle Owls class page.

Our team is made up of:

Emma Rayner – SENCO / Class teacher

Olivia Desmond – Teaching assistant

Academic Year 2025–2026

At Eagle Owls, we strive to create a nurturing learning environment that encourages children to be curious, courageous, and caring, while fostering independence, resilience, and a strong sense of achievement. We believe that communication is fundamental – being able to talk about our learning and express how we feel about ourselves helps us deepen our knowledge and understanding across all areas of the curriculum.

Our learning approach emphasises making meaningful connections across different subjects and applying knowledge and skills from the wider world wherever possible.
