Welcome to Upper Key Stage 2
Upper Key Stage 2 caters for Years 5 and 6 (children aged 9-11). In our unit, we promote a hard-working and supportive ethos where every child is encouraged to do their best whilst setting a positive example for younger children to follow. As such, house captains and ambassdors will be taken from Year 5 and 6 and certain children will be chosen to monitor and help contribute towards the organisation and running of the school.

Parents' Webs
Please find below, our current Parent Webs. This gives a brief outline of what your child will be styudying this half term and rovides useful information regarding homework and other events that may be happening.
Class Dojo - Student Stories
We have started using a fantastic new feature on our Class Dojo reward system - student stories. This gives our pupils the opportunity to take pictures and videos of school work that they have completed and upload them to their own, personal blog in order for them to be shared with you at home. All they need to do is sign up to their student profile. All parents need to do is to sign up to their parent profile. Please find more information here. If you would like any assistance with logging on to Class Dojo, please come and see one of us in school.
Upper Key Stage 2 Calculation Policy
At the request of some of our parents, please find a document below detailing the methods that we use in school to teach the four operations in mathematics - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. When working with your child at home, it is often difficult to know exactly which is the 'preferred' method of calcuation: this document should help to clear up such queries. There are also details of the 'foundations' of mental maths that children should be confident in at the end of each year group. As always, if you have any queries about any of the curriculum content, please come and find one of us in school.
