Welcome to Year 6

Year 6 is the final year in Key Stage 2. At Mayflower, we have three Year 6 classes with the capacity for 30-pupils each, although we cap this at just 20 because we know the positive impact this will have on their learning. Year 6 allows children to build on their achievements in Year 5, bringing even greater independence to their study in all subjects of the National Curriculum. Our approach recognises that Key Stage 2 is a 4-year programme of study, and curriculum content is carefully planned to ensure they are well-prepared for transition to Year 7.

6CR: Mrs. Chauhan (Thursday-Friday and alternate Wednesdays) and Mrs. Radia  (Monday-Tuesday and alternate Wednesdays)
 
6CR is one of our Year 6 classes, with a capacity for 30-pupils, although we place our own cap of just 20-pupils, ensuring your child will benefit from working in a smaller class group, gaining more focus time with their teachers.  Year 6 is the final year at Mayflower Primary School, and brings together all of the work that has been undertaken in previous years.  Reflection, arriving at a position, and global awareness are critical to our work, as well as the acquisition of high ambition, and very high standards of progress and attainment.  Lessons have been carefully constructed to help children recover prior learning, apply this to the context in which they are currently working, with a recognition that they have a positive contribution to make to the global society in which we all live.  This includes an international dimension, with due regard for many of the challenges that society is facing at the moment.  We are proud of all our children, but seeing Year 6 being completely ready for the new challenge of secondary transition marks the culmination of the creative curriculum we teach.
 
6PA: Miss Atkins

​Long-Term Plan
 
Children in Year 6 follow an exciting progression of lessons, that reflect all of the subjects of the National Curriculum. Home-learning will support this journey, and we will also celebrate what your child has achieved through weekly newsletters, the school website, parent groups, achievement assemblies and our Social Media Channels.

Curriculum Enrichment
 
The creative curriculum we teach is enriched in many different ways, including visitors into school, visits out of school, specialist teaching staff, online resources, clubs, local learning partnerships, and engagement with other schools locally. 


We know that curriculum enrichment enhances the Quality of Education for all our children, and also creates very real memories of their time at school.








​Golden Threads
 
All subjects at Mayflower support the children’s awareness and understanding of the 3-Golden Threads, that are interwoven through all aspects of school life.  They are as follows:

  1. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
  2. Social Justice
  3. Outdoor Learning
 
As children move through our school, they will become responsible citizens, who care deeply for the planet, and possess a range of strategies to be leaders of change.  We have the strength to stand up for what is right, and know that a high-quality education will be the primary means by which social mobility can be achieved.

​Assessment
 
​Teachers at Mayflower continually assess the children’s learning, identifying those areas where they are secure in their understanding, where they excel, and also those where more support and guidance will be required. Data is gathered on a termly basis in all subjects, and this is used to track their progress and attainment against challenge targets that have been set for them on the basis of what they achieved in Reception and Year 2. During the summer term, they will also complete the End of Key Stage 2 National Assessments (SATs) in reading, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and mathematics. Writing is assessed through moderated Teacher Assessment. Our children always do well in the SATs, and this helps to give them the depth of knowledge and understanding to successfully transition to their respective secondary schools, for the beginning of Key Stage 3, Year 7.

​Learning Gallery
 
We would love you to explore some of the learning that takes place at our school across all subjects of the National Curriculum.  You will notice how engaged and happy the children look.  This is because we strongly believe that children learn better when they enjoy what they are doing.  This is the same for us as adults, and in large part explains why our children love coming to school and learn so well.
