Year 6

Year 6

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.

Well-being is deeply important to the Year 6 team and we work to develop your children's emotional health and personal development throughout their time with us. Alongside regular PSHE lessons and our constant focus on belonging, we teach weekly Health and Nutrition lessons and PE lessons to ensure your children grow up with a good understanding of how to look after themselves in the future.

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: Great British Legends (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.
