Year 6 - Eagles 2025 - 2026
Welcome to our Year 6 class page
We are The Eagles!
Our class is led by Mrs Mayston, supported by our wonderful teaching assistant, Mrs Gale. Together, we create a friendly and caring environment where children feel happy, confident, and ready to learn. We encourage every child to thrive, enjoy their learning, and develop independence throughout the year in preparation for their transition to secondary school. We build confidence and deepen our knowledge across all subjects, with a particular focus on Maths, Reading, and Writing, to ensure we are fully prepared for SATs in May.
