Welcome to Year 6!

Year 6 is a really important year for your child but also a really enjoyable year with lots of exciting activities and opportunities. The children have all taken on roles of responsibility and we have just elected our four school councillors. The children have to work very hard in year 6 to make sure they are High School ready (which they will be).

The children study English and maths everyday and over the course of the afternoons they also cover foundation subjects.

                   Revision

Reminders

P.E is delivered by a sports coach on a Thursday afternoon and the children will need both an indoor (plain black shorts and a plain white T-shirt and pumps) and outdoor kit (as above but also plain black joggers or leggings and waterproof trainers). They will also have PE with myself on a Friday afternoon. 

Library will be on a Wednesday and children will need to bring in their library books. Homework will be given out on a Friday and to be returned on a Tuesday. If your child is struggling with their homework please bring this in on a Monday and myself or Miss Armstrong will help them with this. 

SATS

In May 2026, the children will sit their SATS (statutory assessments tests). These assessments for grammar, spelling, reading and maths are marked externally and results are delivered to school in July. These results are then shared with you but also with your child's High School.

E-Safety

We are increasingly seeing children struggling to manage social media and cope emotionally with its content and will need your continued support with this.
