Year 6

Miss Katharine Smith

I have been at West Jesmond for four years and as part of my role in school, I am the Upper Key Stage two lead. I enjoy all subjects and have a particular passion for PE. I lead Geography throughout school and look forward to Humanities lessons all week!

Miss Laura Ward

I have now taught at West Jesmond for a total of seven years and for three of these I have been in Year 6. Some subjects I enjoy are Maths and PSHE. I also lead on PSHE across the school and have an interest in how the new aspects of this area of the curriculum can support children's social and emotional development.

Mr Karl McGrath
