Welcome to Year 6
As pupils in Year 6, we take great pride in being ‘top of the school’ and are ready for the final stage in our Willows journey. We know that it is our job to lead the way, acting as positive role models for younger pupils and challenging ourselves to be the very best we can be, both in and out of the classroom. Because this is our last year at primary school, we also know that we need to prepare ourselves for the transition to our chosen secondary school and we work hard on further developing our independence, resilience and sense of responsibility.
We’re sure we will also make the very best of this year. There are so many opportunities for us to shine and our highlights include: leading our school council, organising aspects of Sports Day, taking our SATS, putting on our July musical production, working with the Young Shakespeare Company and of course, our adventure based residential.
Have a look at our Year 6 web pages – there is so much more to share.
Year 6 are taught by Mr Jezzard and Ms Sawyer in Eucalyptus and Mr Jordan in Acacia. Mr Jezzard is also the UKS2 team leader.

School drop off and pick up
Entrance: Nightingale gate
Drop off: 8:35am
Pick up: 3:10pm
Nightingales gate will open at 8.30, 11.35 (Saplings only), 12.10 (Saplings only) and 3.05
Staff will open classroom doors to receive children at 8.35am and let them out at 3.10pm
Children will be expected to walk through the gates on their own and make their way to their classroom in the terrapin block.
Parents of Y5/6 children are asked to drop off their children so that they can walk to the terrapins on their own.
If parents need to give a message to teachers/staff, this can be done on the Nightingales gate, where staff will be present. Children will be released through the Nightingales gate at the end of the day at 3.10pm. If parents want their child to walk home alone, please ensure that the permission form has been completed, signed and returned to school.
What do I do if I have another child in another year group?
Drop your Y5/6 child off at this gate and then walk round to the other gate for your younger children
Alternatively, if your other children are able to walk to their classrooms independently they can all be dropped off at the Nightingales gate
If your other child is in KS1, you can make your way to the other entrance after dropping your child at the Nightingales first
