Year 2 2024 - 2025
Mrs Lindersen
I am one half of the Year Two teaching team at Brereton alongside Mrs Forrester. I have worked in Key Stage One since moving from teaching in schools in London and very much enjoy being part of our wonderful Brereton Primary School community. I enjoy teaching all aspects of the curriculum and love the fact that every day is different!
Mrs Forrester
