Year 6
Welcome to Year 6. Our class values are WISDOM and JOY
We aim for all Year 6 children to have an exciting and educationally stimulating end to their time at primary school. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum as well as opportunities for children to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities such as swimming, fencing and a week long residential school journey. We spend a considerable amount of time preparing the children for the transition into secondary school by encouraging them to become independent and organised learners. In addition, we plan an extensive unit of work focusing on all aspects of personal, social and health education in the second half of the Summer term to ensure all pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
You can find out all about Year 6 on this page - including what we are studying this half term and lots of great resources for parents and children. Your home learning can be found on Assignments on your Year 6 class page in Teams.
