Welcome to Year 6 2025/26
Year 6 is a truly special chapter in a child's primary school journey. It’s the final year before they take the exciting leap into secondary school, and it’s packed with opportunities for growth, leadership, and lasting memories. Children in Year 6 often take on important roles within the school community which helps build confidence and responsibility. Academically, they’re challenged to deepen their thinking, master key skills, and prepare for SATs, all while being supported to reach their full potential. It’s also a time for reflection and celebration, where friendships are strengthened and achievements are recognised. Year 6 isn’t just about preparing for what’s next - it’s about becoming the best version of themselves before they move on.

This term, pupils will explore themes of people, identity and change. In Geography, children will learn about population change; exploring migration, population growth and decline, and how global events can affect where and how people live. These ideas are explored further through reading the novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, which helps pupils understand how historical events and forced movement of people can impact individuals and families.
We will be reading The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas as our class novel. Through this text, we will develop our reading comprehension skills, explore character viewpoints, and discuss key themes in a sensitive and age-appropriate way. The novel will also be used to support our writing, helping us to develop thoughtful responses and structured written work linked to the text.
