Mrs Cumming
Mrs. Dennis
Welcome to Year 6 at Mary Exton Primary School. Our Year 6 cohort are really fortunate to have Mrs Cumming and Mrs Dennis teaching them this year. Both are extremely experienced teachers who have taught Year 6 previously and is looking forward to sharing the exciting Year 6 journey with their class. They are supported by Mrs Martin.
Mrs Cumming will be teaching the class Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning with Mrs Dennis teaching Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday. When Mrs Cumming or Mrs Dennis aren't in the class, Mrs Collett will be taking the class as our HLTA.
On this page you will find important information that you may need throughout the year as well as being able to find an outline of the topics we are covering each term for every subject.
Academically, the main focus in Year 6 is on getting the children ready for their transition to secondary school. We know that this is also the year where the national SATs take place but this is just an event in the school calendar rather than the focus of our teaching. We want to ensure that all of our children start Year 7 in their new schools with confidence and all of the knowledge and skills required to access the next steps in their education. The SATs make up just a small part of what we do in Year 6 and the curriculum map below highlights the breadth and depth of our wider curriculum coverage.
Preparing our children for secondary school underpins everything we do here at Mary Exton in Year 6; we want our children to be as emotionally, socially, and academically ready for secondary school as is possible. We therefore give the children lots of opportunities to develop their independence, resilience, team-working, and ability to work through issues. To do this we bring in Mindfulness specialists, give the children jobs and additional responsibilities around the school and encourage them to take risks in their learning.
Finally, we have our week long residential to look forward to in Year 6. We are very excited about our trip to Lees Wood and the adventures we will be going on.

English is Year 6
Please find a recommended reading list from 'The School Reading List' here. It includes some brilliant books which are age appropriate and there will be something for everyone on the list. It is important that the children read a range of genre and authors to support them with their writing for style and engagement. However, ultimately, we want our children to have a love of reading.
