Welcome to Year 6 at our Frimley Road campus! This is a milestone year for your child as they reach the culmination of their cohesive curriculum journey within our one school family.

Across our Tolkien, Shakespeare, and Austen classes, we are dedicated to ensuring every child feels a deep sense of belonging. As the oldest pupils in our school, our Year 6 children are celebrated as leaders and role models, and we are committed to making their final year at South Camberley Primary and Nursery School both memorable and transformative.

An Ambitious and Coherently Sequenced Curriculum

Our Year 6 curriculum is designed to inspire, challenge, and deliver a strong standard of education. Building upon the secure foundations established across our infant sites and lower junior years, our teachers use evidence-informed teaching to prepare pupils for the step up to secondary school.

To ensure learning truly sticks, we embed retrieval practice into our daily lessons, helping children confidently recall previous learning and connect it to new concepts.

• Adaptive Teaching: We know that every child learns differently. Our adaptive teaching ensures every individual child is supported to achieve their full potential, actively removing barriers to learning rather than just teaching to the middle.
• Cultural Capital: Named after literary greats, our classes immerse pupils in rich texts, vocabulary, and diverse experiences that broaden their horizons and equip them with the knowledge they need to succeed in life.

Championing Well-being and Personal Development

We understand that Year 6 can feel like a demanding year with the approach of SATs and the transition to secondary school. That is why championing pupil and staff well-being sits at the very heart of our highly inclusive practice.

We provide a safe and nurturing environment where an emphasis on emotional literacy and holistic development is just as important as academic rigour.

• Character Building: We actively nurture resilience, leadership, and a growth mindset, ensuring our children are robust, confident, and ready for the future.
• Establishing Positive Routines: By promoting excellent attendance and behaviour, we establish positive routines that foster a calm, focused, and joyful atmosphere where all children can thrive.

Collaborative Expertise and Seamless Transitions

As proud members of the Engage Enrich Excel Academies (EEEA) Trust, our three-site model gives us a unique advantage: we are able to share collaborative staff expertise across our entire teaching team. For our Year 6 families, this means our teachers work closely with local secondary schools to guarantee seamless transitions, ensuring your child confidently and excitedly steps into Year 7.
