Hello and welcome to Year 6!
Please visit regularly to find up-to-date information from our year group.
Year 6 is a vital year group in all primary pupils life as pupils prepare for their future life and become secondary ready. The children work extremely hard to realise their full potential, aided by Mr Perks (Class Teacher) and Mrs Hanson.
