Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
Our teachers are Mr Wilson and Mrs Kryzeiu, Mr Obaye, Mr Coker
Upper KS2 Support Staff: Mrs Winmill
Year 6 brings many new opportunities for our pupils as it is their final year at Beam. They can take on responsibilities such as Head House Captains, enjoy a residential trip to Trewern, work towards achieving well in their KS2 SATs examinations, and celebrate their primary school achievements in our final Leavers' Assembly.
We have an exciting and varied year ahead with a wide range of subjects to study. Below are some of the many exciting topics pupils will learn in the Autumn Term.
Poetry inspired by a RE-lesson
Raima and her peers have been studying 'Life after Death' in RE. The opening lesson examined similes and metaphors for life, inspiring Raima to go home and create her poem, 'Life is like the ocean.'

Key stage 2 national curriculum tests and results: information for parents
Information for parents about the statutory assessments at the end of key stage 2, sometimes called SATs.
Schools administer the mandatory end-of-key stage 2 (KS2) national curriculum tests and teacher assessments to assess pupils' performance against the standards set by the national curriculum.
The information about national curriculum tests at the end of KS2 provides an overview of:
- the purpose of the mandatory tests and teacher assessments
- when they are scheduled
- when schools share results
The information about assessment results at the end of KS2 explains:
- what information you will receive about your child's assessments at the end of KS2
- how the outcomes of the national curriculum tests and teacher assessments are reported
- how the results are used

Pupils working below the level of the national curriculum
Pupils working below the standards of the national curriculum in one or more subjects may be assessed under an alternative teacher assessment – either the:
- pre-key stage standards, if they are engaged in subject-specific study
- engagement model, if they are not engaged in subject-specific study
We will inform you if this is the case.
