Year 6
About Year 6
The Year 6 team is led by Assistant Deputy Headteacher Mr Lee Austin.
The Year 6 teachers within this team are are Mr Lee Austin, Mrs Liesl Dagg and Miss Claire Smith.
These teachers work closely with Mrs Marzenna Wolwark and Mr Tarun Hayre.
Upper years children continue to build up knowledge skills and understanding that will provide them with a solid foundation for Learning for Life. We aim to make the culmination of their time with us at Parkgate at the end of year 6 to be one of huge personal achievement for each and every child.
Punctuality
A good education gives a child the best possible start in life. We must ensure that all our pupils have an equal chance to make good use of the education that the school offers by providing a positive and encouraging atmosphere. To achieve this it is important that each child attends school regularly and punctually. When a child does not attend school regularly and on time they will have difficulty keeping up with their work and will therefore underachieve.

National Curriculum
For further information please click here.
The ‘basic’ school curriculum includes the ‘national curriculum’, as well as Religeous Education.
The national curriculum is a set of subjects and standards used by primary and secondary schools so children learn the same things. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subject.
The national curriculum is organised into blocks of years called ‘key stages’ (KS). At the end of each key stage, the teacher will formally assess your child’s performance.
| Child’s age | Year | Key stage | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 to 4 | Early years | ||
| 4 to 5 | Reception | Early years | Teacher assessments (there’s also an optional assessment at the start of the year) |
