Years 5 & 6
Welcome to our oldest children in the school, Upper Key Stage Two (Years 5 and 6).
Meet the team
Phase leader- Ms Reaney
Flamingos- Ms Reaney
Albatross- Ms Jollife
Pelican- Mrs Young
Support staff/HLTA- Ms Gibbs
We are made up of 3 mixed Year 5 and 6 classes, Albatross, Flamingo and Pelican, where your child will do most of their learning with their class teacher. For Maths, we have two classes of Year 5 children and 2 classes of Year 6 children. This is to allow children to have access to the age appropriate curriculum and to ensure they are confident during their maths lessons.
How to contact us
If you need to speak to your child’s class teacher, they are available briefly at the beginning and end of the school day. For longer messages or queries, please contact staff on Class Dojo – our online communication tool. This is where you will also be able to find regular updates and photos of children’s learning so please ensure you log on regularly. If your child is a student and you haven’t received a log in for Class Dojo please talk to your Childs teacher or the school office to get this set up.
As children enter Upper School, they will now become role models for our younger children and take on various responsibilities throughout their time in Year 5 and 6.
The Upper School team work closely together to encourage children to gain the knowledge and skills necessary for the transition to secondary school. We have high expectations of behaviour, independent learning and a challenging curriculum are at the heart of our culture for learning.
Life in this Phase isn’t all about tests and transitions though and the children enjoy the same enrichment offer as their younger friends in school. Trips to Isle of Wight, a taste of the wild outdoors and participating in sporting events are all greatly enjoyed during the year.
We celebrate courage, determination, ambition and strive for success.
