Year 6 Summer Term 2025 Newsletter

Dear Families

Welcome back after the Easter holidays. The following term is very busy and we have lots of different events happening (see dates below). The children are working extremely hard towards the SATs which take place in the week beginning 12th May. Please ensure your child gets plenty of rest prior to this week.

The children often feel quite anxious about the tests so please reassure them that they will be fine and that they need not worry, they are well prepared.

PE:

PE lessons will continue to be taught on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On these days, pupils should come to school wearing their PE kit. Pupils can also wear PE kit to school on days when they are attending a lunchtime/after school sports club. On all other days, pupils should wear school uniform. Please ensure that long hair is tied back at all times and jewellery is restricted to a pair of stud earrings and a watch.

Uniform expectations can be found on the school website.

Please ensure your child has a hat and suntan lotion on at the beginning of the day, when the weather is forecast to be hot and sunny.

Mobile phones:

If your child needs to bring a phone to school, they may do so. They should place their phone in the class bag first thing in the morning; this will be secured in the office for the day. Pupils will be able to retrieve their phone at the end of the day but should keep them switched off until they are off the school premises.
