Hello, my name is Mrs. Morgan-Partridge or Mrs. M-P for short. I have recently joined Willow Academy School as a teacher in Year 3 and I am excited to learn more about the school. I love to learn new interesting facts and thrive on teaching inspiring lessons which are fun and engaging; with my favourites being Maths, Geography and P.E. In my free time, I enjoy going on long walks with my dog, exploring new places and spending time with my family and friends.

My name is Mrs Stephens. I have worked at Willow Primary Academy for 14 years and was a student teacher and supply teacher here before that! I love the school and all of the children and every day is different and so rewarding. I love to create experiences for the children to remember. During my time at Willow I have taught in every year of the Juniors. I am subject leader of P.E, Computing, Geography and French but I also love Science. In my spare time I love walking, especially near water, spending time with my family and our two bunnies and listening to music.
Our Curriculum
Year 3 Curriculum Overview
The following document gives you more information about the Curriculum in Year 3

Key Information
- Reading books and records must be in school every day so that we can hear your children read. Please ensure your child reads at least 4 times a week at home and sign their reading record with the date. Any other comments about their reading are helpful but not essential. The children earn a Dojo point each time they read at home and they can spend these in the pride shop.
- PE is on a Thursday. Please make sure your child wears their correct PE kit into school and any jewellery is removed.
- Homework will be set on a Friday and is to be completed by the following Thursday. This will include spellings, Maths, English and a curriculum menu with extra activities to choose from.
- Please can all jumpers, coats, lunchboxes be labelled with your child’s name.
