Welcome to Year 5, a year of exciting challenges, growing independence, and deeper learning! As children move into Upper Key Stage 2, they begin to take on more responsibility for their learning and prepare for the transition to secondary school in the coming years.

In Year 5, we continue to build on the strong foundations of previous years, with a focus on developing more advanced skills in reading, writing, and maths. Children will also explore a wide range of engaging topics across science, history, geography, art, computing, and more, encouraging them to think critically, ask questions, and make connections across subjects.

This year often includes exciting enrichment opportunities such as residential trips, special projects, and leadership roles within the school. These experiences help children grow in confidence, teamwork, and resilience.

We also place a strong emphasis on developing personal organisation, time management, and independent thinking, all key skills for success in Year 6 and beyond.

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential. This page will keep you informed about what we’re learning, key dates, and how you can support your child’s learning journey at home.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic year of growth, discovery, and achievement in Year 5!
