Foundation Stage 2026 - 2027
Mrs Burkey
I am looking forward to another wonderful year at St Joseph's. I am excited to be returning to EYFS and joining the children on their journey of discovery throughout Nursery and Reception.
At the weekends I love to hike and go on long walks with my walking group whatever the weather. This year I am hoping to walk the last 100km of the Via Francigena into Rome (not in one day though!).

I am very excited to be joining the team at St Joseph’s and beginning my journey with the children and families this year. This is my third year of teaching, and I have spent the last two years working in EYFS, supporting children as they learn, grow and discover the world around them.
At weekends, I enjoy spending time with my family, taking my dog Walter for walks and relaxing whilst completing jigsaws. I am excited for a wonderful year ahead and can’t wait to share lots of learning, fun and memorable experiences with the children.
Welcome to the Early Years!
We have so many exciting topics and experiences planned for our children this year and we can't wait to begin our learning journey together! We know we are going to have so much fun!
