Year 2 2025 - 2026
Miss Roberts 2DR
Hi! I'm Miss Roberts, and I lead Key Stage 1. This will be my eighth year teaching at
Woodlands Primary School, and I’m so excited for another fantastic year at such a
wonderful school.
Mathematics is one of my favourite subjects, and I currently lead the subject across our
school. I believe maths should be engaging and fun, and I love helping children develop
confidence and skill in solving arithmetic problems - so they can enjoy the subject as
much as I do!
When I’m not in school, I like to keep active through exercise. I also enjoy travelling to
new cities and countries, and spending time with my family and friends.
I can’t wait to begin our learning journey together in September and discover all of your
interests, hopes, and dreams. It’s going to be a very exciting year!
Mr Barnes 2PB
Hello everyone! I am Mr Barnes and I have been working at Woodlands Primary School for 18 years across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
I am passionate about the Arts and have led a number of whole school art projects since starting at Woodlands. One of the most successful projects was the one based on the impact of palm oil on animals in Sumatra. It was in association with Chester Zoo and the school looked amazing when completed. The children produced work of such a high standard and more importantly, understood how important it is to look out for products using sustainable palm oil ingredients.
Outside of school, I have two children, Mia, 20 and Charlie who is 18. I enjoy running, cycling, football and most of all, being with my family. I cannot wait to learn more about you, and discover what your passions, hopes and dreams are!
I am very excited to be your new teacher and I cannot wait to help you to be the best you can be.
