Welcome to year six

What happens in Year six?

Year 6 is an important year when the children undertake roles and responsibilities throughout the school. Some children are chosen to be monitors or house or vice-captains. Within this role, they help organise different events. Year 6 children also participate in other responsibilities and training throughout the school, and are lunch monitors, play leaders, peer mediators, wet play monitors and office monitors. All the Year 6 children are matched with a ‘buddy’ in Year 3 in order to help them settle into the life and routines of Coombe Hill Junior School.

As secondary school is approaching, we encourage the pupils to be more self-reliant and self-sufficient. They need to start to take more responsibility for their own learning and progress.
