Welcome to the Year 6 class page.

Year 6 at Longton Primary School is a very exciting year for our pupils, with lots of exciting events, engaging lessons and prepare them for their transition into high school. At Longton, we have high expectations of all of our children, through outstanding behaviour and by being ready to learn and embrace school life. Just like all pupils at Longton, our classroom embraces, employs and promotes our core values; to CARE, GROW and SHINE.

The year 6 classroom promotes inclusivity, togetherness and a positive learning environment. The classroom will allow students to work in a safe and comfortable environment to enable them to access their learning in the most positive way possible.

We want to promote that making mistakes in our classroom is okay and is an opportunity to learn. We celebrate success, determination, teamwork, independence, uniqueness, kindness and positivity.

In the classroom, we will be doing amazing and inspirational worthy learning. We understand that learning requires teamwork, and should you need to have a chat, please don't hesitate to catch me at the end of the day or contact the office, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

We look forward to supporting the pupils in their final year at Longton Primary School.

Mr Kennedy & Ms Gaskell.
