Year 6 is a crucial year in a child’s education. It’s the final year of primary school, where students prepare for the transition to secondary school. The focus is on consolidating knowledge and skills across various subjects while introducing more complex concepts.
Key Areas of Focus in Year 6:
English: Reading comprehension, writing different text types (narratives, persuasive writing, reports), grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Maths: Fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and proportion, algebra, geometry, measurement, and statistics.
Science: A deeper understanding of living things, materials, and physical processes.
Year 6 also involves preparation for the next stage of education. This includes:
SATs (Standard Assessment Tests): These tests assess students’ English and maths abilities.
Transferring to secondary school: Students will typically visit their chosen secondary school and participate in transition activities.
In schools in England, Year 6 is for children 10–11 years old and is the final year of Key Stage 2 before embarking on their journey to secondary school in the following September.
