Welcome to Year 6

Year 6 is the final year at Templars and we work hard to ensure all children reach their full potential before they leave primary school. We strive to provide all the Year 6 children with memories they will treasure forever and experiences which will prepare them for their lives beyond Templars.

Year 6s have a great deal of new learning to undertake in addition to revising earlier learning in preparation for the Key Stage 2 SATs. We make sure our children have a deep understanding of all areas of the curriculum, and develop our learning through three core themes: Power to the People (Autumn), Blitz and Pieces (Spring) and 'Who do you think you are?' (Summer). 

As the oldest pupils at Templars, we encourage our Year 6s to be role models for the younger students and take on further responsibilities to help them build additional skills. As well as fulfilling their roles on the School Council, Year 6 children have the opportunity to enjoy other additional roles, including participating in the Junior Leadership Team.

If you have any queries or questions, please message on Class Dojo or call the office and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
