Margaret Wix Primary School
Get a Head Start on Year 6 2026-2027
Soon, your child will be moving up to year six. Whilst change can be exciting, we understand that children also need support with this. We already have a pastoral transition programme in place that includes opportunities for pupils to spend time in their new classrooms, with their new teacher(s) and teaching assistant(s). Alongside this, we are further developing our academic transition support to help pupils adjust to the increased expectations of their new year group, in English and maths in particular. In June, Miss Abbott will hold a meeting for year five parents during which the expectations for pupils in core subjects will be explained. Ideas and resources will also be shared during the meeting that will help you to reinforce key skills at home so that your child can get off to a flying start in September. A copy of last year's presentation can be found below. Your child will bring home the resource pack even if you are unable to attend the meeting.
