“Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts” – Albert Einstein

In Year 6, our teacher is Miss Henry and our wonderful teaching assistant is Miss Waters. We love to work as a team in Year 6, as this helps to ensure children’s learning in cemented and that they can pass their own knowledge onto those around them. We understand that it is ok not to ‘know it all’ and that making mistakes help us to learn and deepen our understanding.

How does the school system in the Victorian era compare to the school system in the present day?

Some of our pupils have completed some amazing home-learning to develop their knowledge further:

Not all learning has to be boring or in our classroom… and we LOVE learning this way!
