Welcome to year five

What happens in Year 5?

Year 5 is an exciting and challenging year for the children. In the upper school they are expected to take a more mature and independent approach towards learning. These skills are developed throughout the year during a variety of tasks and lessons and provide the key foundations that prepare our children for the challenges of Year 6. 

As they come to the end of Year 5, their responsibilities widen with the children taking on the important role of mentoring children in Year 2 before their move from the Infants to Juniors.
