Welcome to Year five

Miss Islam (Class Teacher), Miss Rattigan (Tuesday) and Miss Enright (Teaching Assistant) work together to ensure that every child in Year 5 has a positive and rewarding learning experience. We work hard to create a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment where children feel happy, valued and ready to learn. As a team, we have high expectations of every pupil and encourage them to challenge themselves, take pride in their achievements and always strive to do their very best. Our aim is to foster a love of learning while helping children to become increasingly independent, resilient and confident as they prepare for the exciting journey into Year 6.

Year 5 is full of exciting opportunities, new experiences and engaging learning across the curriculum. Children are encouraged to think creatively, ask questions and develop their problem-solving skills through a range of inspiring topics. At times, they will work quietly and independently, demonstrating focus and perseverance, while at other times they will collaborate with their classmates, share ideas and learn together with their learning partners. We believe that every child can succeed, and we celebrate effort, determination and progress as much as achievement.

Our classroom is a happy, caring and inclusive place where everyone is respected and encouraged to be themselves. Building positive relationships, developing social skills and learning to work collaboratively are all important parts of life in Year 5. We want every child to feel confident, supported and excited to come to school each day.

Learning doesn't just happen in the classroom! Throughout the year, we make the most of opportunities to learn outdoors, explore our school grounds and take part in exciting educational visits that bring our learning to life and create lasting memories.
