Year 6 is an exciting but challenging year as we prepare the children for their transition to secondary school.

The children in Year 6 enjoy many privileges including:

• Wearing a special uniform that signifies their special position as the oldest children in the school.
• Going away on School Journey to Shropshire for an adventure week
• Being ‘Top Buddies’ for their family groups
• Participating in Cycling Proficiency
• Taking a lead in our annual celebration day
• Acting as ambassadors for the school, meeting and greeting special visitors and acting as tour guides

They also have a number of responsibilities that ensure the smooth running of the school including:

• Delivering registers to classrooms and carrying out other helpful administrative duties
• Ensuring classes have the correct laptops and iPads for their lessons,
• Organising the hall for assemblies and special events
• Preparing the music for assemblies and hymn practices
• Leading the School Council and Eco-Council
• Librarian duties in the school library

We have high expectations of our Year 6 children both in terms of their responsibilities and their learning. Ashfield children rise to the challenge and act as excellent role models for the younger children.

Our Year 6 curriculum is creative and challenging; and designed to prepare them thoroughly for the new challenges and demands of transition to secondary school.

Highlights in Year 6 include:

• Year 6 Tie Assembly
• A visit to Whipsnade Zoo
• School Journey to Manor Adventure, Shropshire
• Secondary Transfer Day
