Welcome
Welcome to Year 6 – a very important year for all pupils! Our vision is to have all children achieve their full potential by supporting their learning and making lessons engaging and inspiring. Children are encouraged to demonstrate their maturity by developing their independence through multiple responsibilities. As well as being an important year, it is an extremely exciting one with multiple extra-curricular opportunities such as visiting Paris, participating in the end of year production and taking part in many sporting events.
We strive to provide our children with the tools they need to be high school ready, alongside a rich curriculum that is full of learning opportunities.
