Dolphins

Dolphins – Year 5/6
The Year 5/6 teacher is Mrs Hallam, supported by our Learning Support Assistants.

In Dolphins, children take on greater responsibility for their learning as they prepare for the transition to secondary school. Lessons challenge them to think deeply, make connections and apply their skills across the curriculum. Guided by our vision “Believe and Achieve Together” and our rules “Ready, Respectful and Safe,” we encourage resilience, independence and teamwork, helping children to achieve their very best.

Children are expected to read regularly at home, practise times tables and number facts, and complete weekly homework to consolidate their learning. We value strong partnerships with parents and maintain open communication to support every child’s progress.

What your child needs each day:

  • A named drinks bottle

  • A PE kit (plain T-shirt, shorts, plimsolls in a PE bag)

  • A book bag with reading record and books

  • Weather-appropriate clothing

Please make sure all items are clearly named.
