Mrs Williams

Welcome

Thank you for visiting our Year 6 page. We have got some wonderful things planned for this year so please check this page regularly for updates.

Our focus through September will be on setting routines and expectations for presentation and learning behaviours, with a "Back to Basics" approach. Once these are embedded, we will focus on individual learning and challenges that prepare our children, both academically and emotionally, for their move to Secondary school.

If you have any questions or queries, please get in touch via the school office or on the gate after school.

I look forward to working with you all; we are going to have a fantastic year!

Topic Overview for Year 6- 2026-2027

Please see below for the long term plan for this year.

Year 6 SATS

As everyone will be aware, in May, Year 6 will complete their SATS. Please be reassured that this is nothing for the children to worry about. We will do everything that we can to prepare them so that they are confident and comfortable to complete them to the best of their ability.

To support this, I will be setting a revision timetable each week, taking a "little and often" approach to covering the curriculum. This will be completed in school and children can secure this knowledge by consolidating it at home.

There are many free online games and videos for children to engage in, and I will add links to this page. If there are any questions, or if you would like to discuss anything further, please contact me via the school office.
