Woodlands Pathway

I’m Mrs Eaton and I am Creative Arts, Woodlands and Seedlings Pathway Lead. My teaching career started in 2013, where I taught music and performing arts in all groups from Reception to Year 6 for several years across mainstream schools in Birmingham, before joining Dame Ellen Pinsent School in 2016. I have loved my time so much at Dame Ellen, that I have never left. I have responsibility for several classes here at Dame Ellen and I teach in Woodlands and Seedlings pathways, providing consistent cover for PPA.
The Woodlands Pathway at Dame Ellen is our most formal pathway. Our intent is for children to become confident, engaged, happy and resourceful lifelong learners through receiving high quality teaching and learning across the range of National Curriculum subjects. The majority of children in the Woodlands Pathway are currently working academically at EYFS and Key Stage 1 level, but some children are challenged to access age-appropriate examinations such as the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check or the Year 6 SATs. We also aim to develop the children’s self-help and independence skills through a variety of extra-curricular opportunities such as educational visits, class assemblies, sports events, curriculum WOW events, and a 2 night residential to Blackwell Adventure.
