Year 6 Owl Class
Welcome to Owl Class
Welcome to Year 6! I am so excited to be your teacher this year, alongside Mrs Wharram, who will once again be supporting us as our wonderful LSA.
We have an exciting year ahead filled with new learning, memorable experiences, and opportunities for our children to take on greater responsibilities as the oldest pupils in the school. Year 6 is a special and important year, not only because of the learning that takes place, but because it helps prepare children for the transition to secondary school.
As your child's teacher, one of my key aims is to help them develop independence, resilience, organisation, and responsibility. Encouraging children to take ownership of their learning and daily routines is an important part of becoming secondary-ready. While we will support and guide them every step of the way, we also want them to develop the confidence to solve problems, manage responsibilities, and advocate for themselves.
A child's education is most successful when parents, school staff, and the child work together towards shared goals. We greatly value the partnership between home and school and ask for your support in helping your child make the most of their final year in primary school by:
- Supporting regular reading, times tables practice, and the completion of homework.
- Ensuring your child arrives at school in the correct uniform and ready to learn.
- Promoting healthy routines at home, including limiting screen time and ensuring a good night's sleep.
- Speaking positively about school and helping your child approach challenges with confidence and a growth mindset.
At the same time, we recognise that every child is different and that questions or concerns may arise throughout the year. Please do get in touch if there is anything you would like to discuss. We are always happy to work together to support your child and ensure they have a happy, successful, and memorable final year at primary school.
If you have a question or your child has any worries, please contact me via email or catch me after school.

We are looking forward to a fantastic year together in Owl Class!
