Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to Year 6, the final year of primary school and an important stage in preparing pupils for the transition to secondary school. It is a year focused on confidence, responsibility and personal growth, alongside high expectations for learning.
In Year 6, our calm and supportive learning environment is shaped by our Bee Rules, helping pupils to be kind, be safe, be respectful and be inquisitive as they develop independence, resilience and leadership skills. We encourage our pupils to be positive role models and ambassadors for the school community.
Our Year 6 classes, Kestrels and Falcons, are taught by Ms McCauley and Mrs Khan, supported by Miss Carroll and Mrs McDonnell, working together to ensure pupils feel confident, supported and fully prepared for the opportunities and challenges of secondary school and beyond.
The Best Bits of Year 6
“I love seeing my Year 6s grow in confidence and take on new responsibilities — they really become leaders in the school.”
“I enjoy helping the children prepare for secondary school and seeing them achieve goals they didn’t think possible.”
