Welcome to Year 4!

Miss Andrews, Miss Huish, Mrs Blacker, Mrs Hillier, Mrs Stokes and Mr Welch are our Year 4 teachers.

Our current hall displays all showcase the work of Marie Van Brittan Brown the inventor of the home security system. Marie lived in Queens, New York, in the 1960s and often worked shifts as a nurse which meant she was often home alone while her husband was working. Marie wanted to create a system which would enable her to see who was at her front door from wherever she was in the house. It was an early form of CCTV and Marie was awarded a patent for her design in 1969.
