Hello! I am Miss Duerden. I am the Year 1 teacher and I love watching the children grow in confidence and independence throughout the year. It is so lovely to see how much progress they make across all areas of their learning, especially in reading, writing and maths. Year 1 is such an exciting year as the children build on their learning from Reception and discover lots of new things!

In my classroom, I love creating a fun and engaging environment where the children feel happy, confident and excited to learn. I enjoy seeing their enthusiasm as they learn new skills and celebrate their achievements.

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I love going on days out, going on holiday and making lots of lovely memories. I am also a big football fan and love watching Blackburn Rovers!
