Welcome to Year 5 & 6 Area

Welcome to Upper Key Stage 2 at St Peter’s.

Our team consists of Mr Ormerod (UKS2 Lead Teacher), Mrs Boag and Mrs Traynor, supported by our teaching assistants Mrs Hogarth, Mrs Westwood and Mrs Russell.

We are a friendly, welcoming team who are passionate about helping every child achieve their very best. We provide a supportive environment where children are encouraged to challenge themselves, develop independence and build confidence in their learning. We believe that mistakes are an important part of learning and strive to create a classroom culture where children feel safe to take risks, ask questions and grow from their experiences.

Through engaging lessons, exciting opportunities and high expectations for all, we aim to inspire our pupils to become resilient, responsible and successful learners who are well prepared for the next stage of their education.

We value the partnership between home and school and are always happy to work together with parents and carers to support every child’s learning and wellbeing

Reading:

Please continue to hear your child read at home, or sign their book if they have read independently. Ideally, the children will be reading at least three times a week at home. There are a range of prizes they can win based on the number of times they have read at home, and it will also help them progress through our whole school reading chart.

Head Boy and Girl:

At the start of the academic year, all children in year 6 are invited to put themselves forward to being voted as head boy and girl for the year. We hold an assembly where the children can read their speeches out to the rest of school. The whole school (staff included) will then cast their votes, and the boy and girl with the most votes will be awarded head boy and girl. The runners up will be given deputy head boy and girl. Throughout the year, the head boy and girl and deputies will be called upon to introduce Christmas and Easter productions as well as speak to visitors in school.
