Year 5/6 - Phoenix Class

Welcome to Phoenix class!

Mrs Thornhill, Miss Pointing and Miss Hedges are excited for this year, which will be packed with exciting new learning, plenty of opportunities to grow, and a healthy dose of fun and adventure! We can’t wait to welcome back those of you returning to Phoenix Class and to meet everyone joining us this September. Get ready for a year of working hard, challenging yourselves, making wonderful memories, and sharing lots of laughter along the way!

Year 6 is a very special year and an exciting final chapter of primary school. As the oldest pupils in the school, our children are role models for the younger years, and we encourage them to lead by example through their kindness, respect, resilience and positive attitude. We are incredibly proud of the responsibility they take on and the important contribution they make to our school community.

This year will bring many opportunities for pupils to challenge themselves, grow in confidence and become more independent as they prepare for the move to secondary school. A significant part of Year 6 is preparing for the end of Key Stage 2 SATs. We know that these assessments are important, but our priority is to ensure that every child feels supported, confident and well prepared. Through engaging lessons, regular practice and plenty of encouragement, we will help each child achieve their very best while recognising and celebrating the process they make throughout the year.

Year 6 is about so much more than SATs. It is a year filled with exciting learning experiences, leadership opportunities, memorable trips and special events that help make their final year at primary school one to remember. We hope every child finishes the year with wonderful memories, a sense of pride in all they have achieved and the confidence to take their next steps.

We look forward to working closely with you throughout the year and thank you for your continued support. Together, we can ensure that your child has a happy, successful and rewarding final year at primary school.
