Year 6

Our two Year 6 classes work very closely together. For English and Mathematics lessons children are grouped by ability. Other subjects are taught by your child's class teacher. Children will sit their standardised assessment tests in May and after this, there will be a greater focus on the transition to secondary school. 6 Moscow is taught by Miss Yerlisu. 6 Russia is taught by Mr Larke. Year 6 are supported by Ms Chandaria.
