Year 6
Our Vision
At Bury C of E Primary School,
We love one another and are forgiving of each other,
just as in Christ God forgave us.
We speak the truth in love and show proper respect to everyone.
This is an invitation to ‘Be More Jesus’.
Our Values

Forgiveness: Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32
Honesty: Speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15

General Reminders
- Your child may choose to bring fruit or vegetables for a break time snack.
- Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday. Your child needs to come into school wearing their PE kit on their PE days.
- Earrings should not be worn on P.E. days. If your child forgets to remove them, they must be removed by the child (not by staff) for PE. No responsibility can be taken for the custody of items when they are necessarily removed for PE.
- The children will need their own water bottle in school. Please make sure that they are clearly labelled.
- Please label all uniform/coats/shoes to ensure that it is identifiable and can be returned to the correct owner.
Welcome Statement
Welcome to all of the Year 6 children and families. Year 6 is an incredibly busy year at school but we are here with you every step of the way to guide you and make sure you get the most out the year. We are going to immerse the children in a variety of subjects to fill them with all the knowledge they will need, and more, ready to confidently start secondary school.
We hope that you find all the information you need here but if you want to find out more, please check out the rest of our school website and our school Twitter account.
As always, we are here to make this a memorable year for your child, so never hesitate to contact us.
Our Curriculum
Please see our yearly curriculum overview to find out what your child will be learning this year.
Take a look at our Primary Knowledge Curriculum (PKC) Knowledge Organisers to see what your child is learning about each half term in more detail. The Knowledge Organisers are a tool that support your child's learning in school and could be a way to support their learning at home.
Homework
It is absolutely vital that your homework is completed on time and completed at home. Homework runs from Friday - Friday.
In Year 6, the children are expected to:
- read at home daily for at least 10-15 minutes (comments should be recorded in their reading record).
- practise their times tables using the resource Times Tables Rockstars for a minimum of 30 minutes per week and/or achieve a ‘goal’ on Complete Maths.
- practise their spellings in preparation for their spelling test every Friday morning.
- complete weekly Maths and/or English tasks from their CGP books.
Reading is the corner stone of everything we do, so it is vitally important to hear your child read most nights!
Statutory Assessments Key Stage 2 – SATs
During Year 6, the children are expected to take part in statutory key stage 2 SATs. These tests are based on the English and mathematics national curriculum objectives covered from in Year 3 to Year 6.
The children will be completing their SATs on the following days (2023- 2024):
Monday 13th May 2024 - English grammar, punctuation and spelling papers 1 and 2
Tuesday 14th May 2024 - English reading
Wednesday 15th May 2024 - Mathematics paper 1 and 2
Thursday 16th May 2024 - Mathematics paper 3
In addition to the week of testing, teachers will be carrying out teacher assessments on the children's writing. This will happen throughout Year 6 and will be reported to your child's secondary school along with the test results.
Below is a video narrated by Mr Glozier regarding Key Stage 2 SATS.
Here are some resources to help your child prepare for their SATS. Please do not complete the previous SATs papers (2018-2023) at home as we use them for our assessments in school. These tests help us to identify areas where your child needs extra support.
