Communication
It is crucial that the school office have the current and up-to-date contact details (phone numbers and email addresses). Please contact them if your details have changed.
You can speak to the class teacher briefly during collection or you could arrange a meeting with them by getting in touch with the office.
In Year 6 children are able to walk home by themselves. Before they are able to walk home by themselves, please contact the office to ensure this request is recorded and passed on to the teacher.
General Class Housekeeping
PE: Year 6 PE is on a Friday. Children should arrive wearing the correct PE kit on this day.
What to bring to school
Outer wear and backpack/ school bag with:
- A named water bottle
- A named packed lunch (if not school dinners)
- Their reading record and homework
We are very excited about the work we will be doing in Year 6 this year. We will be teaching the full Year 6 curriculum.
Although there is a lot to cover and there will be some focus on SATs, please be assured we will still be teaching a broad curriculum and children will have plenty of opportunities to take part in other subjects they enjoy such as PE, French, Computing, Art, Science, History and Geography. There will also be a full PSHE programme running throughout the year covering a range of topics to support pupil well-being.
Children will stream for English and Maths. For foundation subjects, children will be taught in their class groupings.
Weekly Home Learning
In Year 6 the expectations for home learning do increase a little from Year 5. Weekly home learning will be shared on Atom Prime Learning to consolidate learning from across the week. Mental arithmetic and spelling homework will also be set. Homework may also be set on additional online learning platforms.
In Year 6 children will need to complete
- 30 minutes of reading every day – Please see below some suggested books we encourage your child to read this year
- Weekly spelling practice
- Weekly maths home learning
In Year 6 all children will take part in SATs which are national assessments for all children aged 10-11. The dates for this will be announced in 2026. While we will work hard towards SATs and ensure your children are prepared, we want our children to feel relaxed and optimistic towards the tests.
SATs are only a small part of the Year 6 experience and all we will ask from our children is that they try their best
