Welcome to Year 2!

Thank you for all your kind wishes and parting gifts.

We hope you have a wonderful Summer.

If you have any queries you can contact us by the school office or email year2@greatberry.essex.sch.uk. Please contact the office for anything that is urgent. 

As you are aware financial pressures on school are ever increasing and this makes it challenging for us to source some of the resources we would like to provide the children with. Following previous meetings and forums, the community’s generosity, donations and gifts have been a huge support. Therefore, to help with supporting us on resourcing specific items, we have set up a year group Amazon gift list. There is no obligation to do so, but if you would like to support us in this way then please follow the link below:

Many thanks to those parents who have already kindly donated gifts from the Amazon Wish List, we are extremely grateful. 

Thank you  for your continued support.

Kind regards

Year 2 team
