‘Nothing is impossible with God’
My name is Miss Durkan. This is my first year at St Francis and I am delighted to be teaching Y3 class. I have a love for the great outdoors, whether that is walking, climbing or paddle-boarding!
Inside my classroom, open discussion is encouraged, curiosity is valued, achievements are celebrated, and mistakes are only extra opportunities for learning. I am looking forward to the academic year ahead and getting to know you all!
