Welcome to Year 6!

Year 6 is an important year for our pupils and marks the transition towards secondary school. We aim to ensure that we send our children on to their new schools as responsible, organised and engaged pupils ready to face their new challenges.

During this year, we encourage our children to take a greater responsibility in school life. They carry out a variety of jobs around our school, including paper recycling, music monitors, chairs and library monitors; they even deliver messages at lunchtime!

Year 6 is obviously a very important year as the children prepare for their end of Key Stage SATs. Whilst recognising and working hard at this, we also strive to give the children an enjoyable and memorable final year at their Junior School. We offer all children the opportunity to enjoy and experience a four day residential trip to York. In addition, at the end of Year 6, all children take part in a musical production, which makes a fantastic end to their four years with us.

Mayan Inspiration Day 2023

Year 6 have had a great launch into their new history unit- The Mayans.

Children have been historians and architects for the day, where they researched the importance of Mayan Temples and studied the magnificent architecture.

Using this knowledge, groups worked together to design and build their own temple dedicated to a Mayan God of their choice.
