Welcome to Year 5

In Year 5, we aim to provide an inclusive environment where children are able to develop a love of learning, challenge themselves to take risks and develop resilience with the support of their peers and teachers. We actively promote the idea of ‘Growth Mindset’ so the children understand that making mistakes is an essential part of learning.

Ultimately, we want to bring learning to life so the children are prepared for life beyond the classroom.

Year 5 proudly represent the school as Mini Police, School Council, at Sporting Competitions and Festivals and the Pride Youth Network.

Who will help us in Year 5?

Miss Burns

Miss Burns is our teacher and Miss Richardson is our teaching assistant but you will have support from all staff in school.

We have our PE lessons on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Children should come into school in their PE kits on those days. Further information about the school uniform policy can be found within the uniform section of the school website. During the year we also have swimming lessons at a local school pool. We regularly have PE coaches from the School Sport Partnership to upskill us in various sports.

We have included some useful hints, tips and guides below to support you in helping your child. If you’re unsure of anything, please contact Miss Burns through the school office or Seesaw.
