Welcome to  Year 6

Throughout Year 6, the children will be learning about diversity and respect through our key theme: Building a better society.

Key concepts such as Social Responsibility, Justice, Gender Equality, Democracy, Environmental Stewardship, Wealth Distribution and Cultural Experiences are built into everything we learn. These are linked to our KS2 values: Belonging, Knowledge, Trust and Equality.

In Year 6, our children hone their critical thinking skills through foundation subject including the study of thought-provoking novels.
