Year 6
All children in Year 6 are given the opportunity to be School Prefects and to help with the day-to-day running of the school.
Secondary selective tests take place in the first month of Year 6 and our children are fully prepared for these. Parents are invited to discuss Secondary school options with both the Headmaster and Form teachers.
Year 6 children are involved in many fund raising activities both in school and in the wider community as well as considering their preparations for Year 6 end of year exams.
Homework continues to be an integral part of school life and Results Prediction Evening is held for both pupils and parents in the Spring Term.
After the exams in May, Year 6 participate in two weeks of Challenge and Enrichment. A residential trip to Spain in the Summer term is a chance for the children to use their Spanish knowledge, along with experiencing Spanish life, food and culture.
The term culminates in a Senior School Production where Year 6 lead this great event of singing, dancing and drama.
All Year 6 children transfer to a wide range of Selective & non-Selective State & Independent Secondary schools in Bexley and adjoining boroughs.

We are very proud of all of our Year 6 leavers’ and particularly those who achieved excellent results at Secondary school entrance (including numerous scholarship awards).
Along with this, we supervise one to one reading and support individuals and groups, with oral and written work.
Textbooks, printed materials and exercise books are sent home regularly, in order to further support the learning.
The school’s curriculum is augmented by using ‘Atom Learning’, an industry-leading resource mapped to the national curriculum and Senior school entrance exams, particularly in English, Maths & Science. This adaptive online platform uses interactive questions, video tutorials and help-sheets to further the children’s learning.
