2019‐2020
“One School, One Team.”
Year 6 Programmes of Study
Welcome to Year 6. We know that the children are always excited about being the
oldest children in the school and we aim to make it a memorable one: as well as a
variety of trips, Year 6 become prefects, giving them the chance to take on extra
responsibility – and they always rise to the occasion. As the end of the year
approaches, we also begin to prepare them for Senior School, with events such as Year
7 students visiting, assemblies and a visit to Senior School.
Below you will find some guidance as to the work which will be covered over the
course of Year 6. As you would imagine, we are always keen to take advantage of
opportunities that may present themselves at different times during the year which
will further enhance learning within the year group (for example: the offer of an
author visit or reacting to events in the region or around the world, such as the
Olympics), and this means that there may be some changes to the plans below.
