Year 6
Welcome to the Year 6 page.
Our Curriculum
Children in year 6 experience a range of exciting subjects in which they learn crucial knowledge and develop subject skills. Children work within a highly stimulating and challenging environment and have opportunities to work both collaboratively and independently. Our lessons regularly benefit from the use of technology to enhance children’s learning and engagement. Every child in Year 6 has access to their own iPad, where they use a range of apps and software and are able research and present their work in creative ways.
