Clifton-upon-Teme Primary School
Woodpeckers Class
Welcome to Woodpeckers Class!
Woodpeckers Class is taught by Mr Carrette. We are a friendly and welcoming mixed Year 3 and Year 4 class, where children are encouraged to feel happy, confident and ready to learn.
In our classroom, we provide a stimulating and engaging environment where children can develop their knowledge and skills across the Key Stage 2 curriculum. We encourage curiosity and independence, helping pupils to explore new ideas, ask questions and challenge themselves in their learning.
We place a strong emphasis on teamwork, respect and kindness, ensuring that every child feels valued and included. At the same time, we support children to become increasingly independent and take pride in their own achievements.
Our aim is to help every child grow into a motivated, resilient learner who enjoys learning and is prepared for the next stage of their journey.
Meet Mr Carrette
Hello, I'm Mr Carrette, and I am proud to be Woodpeckers Teacher and the Deputy Headteacher at Clifton-upon-Teme Primary School.
I feel incredibly privileged to be part of such a warm, caring and supportive school community. One of the things I love most about Clifton-upon-Teme Primary School is the way we work together to help every child feel valued, included and inspired to achieve their very best.
My aim is to ensure that every child feels safe, happy and confident when they come to school each day. I believe children learn best when they feel secure, supported and encouraged to challenge themselves. I am passionate about creating an environment where everyone is treated with kindness and respect, and where children develop a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.
I particularly enjoy seeing children discover new talents, persevere through challenges and celebrate their successes. Watching children grow in confidence and achieve things they are proud of is one of the most rewarding parts of my role.
Outside of school, I enjoy playing and watching sports, especially badminton. I also love reading, and one of my favourite books is How to Train Your Dragon. When it's time to relax, my favourite film is The Lion King.
I am very proud to be part of the team at Clifton-upon-Teme Primary School, and I look forward to working with all our children and families to ensure that every pupil enjoys a happy, successful and memorable school experience.
I truly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and I am committed to helping make Clifton-upon-Teme Primary School a place where everyone feels they belong and can be the very best version of themselves.
