Teaching Staff

When children leave The Vaynor they will enter the upper junior classes, or Year Five and Year Six. These are still Key Stage Two. Our main feeder Middle School, Walkwood, and ourselves are working closely together to make this transition as smooth as possible so that children do not have a lapse in their studies as a consequence of the splitting of the Key Stage 2 (junior) years.
