Year 6 Graduation … Be Proud!

Graduation Disco Wednesday 16th July 6.00-8.00pm

Graduation is fast approaching for our Year Sixes as they prepare for their journey on to secondary school. The Year 6 group have their own Graduation Disco on Wednesday 16th July from 6 to 8pm. The children will be enjoying some dancing and a little buffet (PTA will be providing some savouries and sweet treats) If you would like to donate some crisps or drink, we would be most grateful for any donations you are able to give. If you wish to contribute, please could you send these in to school with your child on the morning of the disco. Please can we remind you that mobile phones will also not be allowed. Also, a reminder that all children must be collected at the end of the disco at 8pm by an adult. We do hope they enjoy their celebrations 😊

Graduation Ceremony

The Graduation Ceremony will take place on Wednesday 23rd July at 2pm for all Year 6 children. This will take place at the front of school and once the ceremony has finished all Year 6 Graduates will then leave for their journey into Year 7 and beyond, they will leave with you from the ceremony. This event will take place outdoors. Just a reminder that all children need to be in their school uniform for the graduation. Please can we ask parents that you only take photos of your own child, and can we politely request that you do not film the ceremony, this is due to strict GDPR restrictions which keep all our children safe. There will be an opportunity during the graduation for you to take pictures of your child. Also please be mindful of your social media presence and our responsibilities as role models to our children.

Happy Graduation all and thank you to you as Year 6 Parents and Carers for all your support and encouragement over your time with us, we know this will be an exciting but emotional day for us all. Be Proud and Be Happy!

Transition

We understand that the transition to secondary school can be a challenging time for both students and their families. It often involves adjusting to a new environment, managing increased academic expectations, and building new friendships, all of which can feel overwhelming. At this important stage, we want to offer support that makes the process smoother and less stressful. By listening to your concerns and working closely with schools, families, and students, we aim to provide the right guidance, resources, and reassurance to help every child feel confident and ready for this next step in their education journey.

We are providing a booklet from the charity Young Minds that aims to help support you during the lead up to transition from Year 6 to Year 7:

Also, during our time together in the final term we will be exploring a transitional booklet kindly provided by Barnardo's, which we will then provide here (online) for you to also use at home over the Summer break.

Below, is a poster of top tips for getting ready for Secondary School:
