Class Six

Year 6 is a truly special time at Woods – a year full of independence, responsibility, adventure, and fun! As children prepare to move on to Year 7, we make sure they leave as confident, capable, and curious learners, ready for the next stage of their journey. Our exciting and diverse curriculum sparks imagination, encourages independent thinking, and gives every child the chance to explore, discover, and shine.

Year 6 is also when children get to take on exciting responsibilities. They can become a playground buddy, a class assembly monitor, or apply to represent their house as a House Captain, Vice Captain, or as a member of the Faith Council – developing leadership skills and confidence along the way.

Building friendships beyond Woods is another highlight. Children form pen pals with Holly Primary, and during SATs week (Monday–Thursday) we start each day with breakfast together to kick off the tests in style. At the end of the week, we celebrate with a fun-filled trip including tenpin bowling and laser quest – a perfect mix of teamwork, laughter, and memories.

The summer term brings even more excitement with a two-night residential trip to Hagg Farm, packed with adventure and new experiences. And of course, no Year 6 would be complete without our spectacular leavers’ summer show. Recent productions such as I’m an 11-Year-Old, Get Me Out of Here and The School of Vision Song Contest showcase the children’s talents and creativity, creating unforgettable memories for everyone.

Year 6 at Woods is more than just a year – it’s a celebration of learning, friendship, growth, and fun. It’s a year that children – and parents – will remember forever!
