Welcome to Year 5/6! Our dedicated team, including Mr. Cripwell, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Suter, Mr. Lydon, and Mrs. Beasley, supports students in becoming responsible learners. Emphasizing decision-making, self-evaluation, and independence, we encourage students to bring the correct equipment, manage homework, and present their work well. Weekly homework includes Literacy, Science, and Maths, while creative projects integrate subjects like Drama and Computing. This year, we explore the life of Shakespeare, his plays, and key themes in music, art, and humanities.
