Half Termly Newsletters
Every half term, the newsletter will be added here so you can keep up to date with what we are learning about:
Year 6 Autumn 1 newsletter Year 6 Autumn 2 NewsletterY6 Long Term Plan
Our long term plan ensures coverage of each subject area across the curriculum and is monitored by each subject leader alongside a range of other monitoring tasks that ensure coverage and progression. Teachers may change the order of some topics where there is justification to do so, but will still ensure coverage of all topics across all subject areas.

Academic Year 2025/26
Welcome back to school! I hope you’ve had a fantastic summer break and I’m happy to get you back to school, safe and sound. I hope you’ve all had a fantastic summer holiday and you’re ready for a brilliant year in Year 6. We are going to have such an amazing year together…the last year of your primary school life!
We’ve got so many exciting things to do together that I have no doubt it will be the best year you’ve ever had. Throughout the year, the Year 6 curriculum will be tailored to build on the children’s interests, make links to their role in the community of Wetherby, and the wider world itself. We will be ambitious for ourselves, aiming for the very best we can achieve academically, morally, emotionally and spiritually. There will be experiences built in along the way to inspire learning and to inspire the children for their future roles as active citizens. All the children will be able to achieve and thrive by giving their very best efforts.
School Trips, Visits and Workshops!
I am always looking for ways to enrich and enhance the curriculum and this year in Year 6, I have already planned visitors to school and workshops for the year ahead. Please see the school calendar for all key important dates. Look at some of the things that are already booked for the coming academic year!
- Headingley Water Treatment workshop
- Geography field trip to Nidd Gorge and Knaresborough waterside
- Shakespeare Theatre Company: Romeo & Juliet
- DT workshops: working with leather and wood
- Bikeability
- Mr Foster: Orthopaedic surgeon to visit
- Y6 Residential Trip
As and when I can, I will be booking further trips and experiences. The list above is just a taste of what’s to come!
Buddies
One of the things that Year 6 really look forward to in Y6 is being buddies with our new children in Foundation Stage 2. The Year 6 children play a huge role in helping our new children settle quickly. They help them in the lunch hall to build up their confidence, and then play with them in the playground at lunch time whilst encouraging them to play with their peers and have independence too. This is a very special job and one that I know the children have been looking forward to for a very long time!
