Year 6

Welcome to Year 6

Starting Year 6 is really exciting. Children have the chance to vote for the school's Head boy and Head girl. They are also responsible for choosing the House Captains for St. Andrew, St. David, St. George and St. Patrick. These are positions of responsibility and are to be taken very seriously. During Year 6 there are many opportunities for celebrating and having fun. They also have the honour of leading special Collective Worships for the whole school, Harvest, Advent, Christingle, Shoe-box appeal, Lent, Easter, the Feast of Blessed Edmund Rice and many more.

It is while in Year 6 the children perform the most spectacular of productions. The children (and parents) work hard to learn lines, songs, create costumes and perform. Over the past years they have taken part in Treasure Island Robin Hood Olivia, Wind in the Willows and Charlotte's Web. They are always fantastic times for Year 6 but also for the whole school who get involved in scenery and decorations. After this, they go on their Residential trip to Patterdale in the Lake District. Here they learn about communal living, outdoor activities and working closely as a team. It is an exhausting but truly exceptional time.

There are many other activities, occasions and events that form part of life in Year 6. They are all an important part of preparing our children for their next important step to their new Secondary School.
