Year 6
Class Teacher: Mr Heath
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Adams
Dear Parents,
I hope you are all well. It has been lovely to see how quickly the children have settled into Y6. They have already shown how much they have matured and are demonstrating that they are ready for the challenges and responsibilities that Year 6 brings.
This year, we are going to buddy up with YR children to support their transition to school, I know that pupils new to CBS will be well looked after.
Mr Byrne will be teaching Y6 PE, Mrs Rowland will teach Music and Religion & Worldviews, Mrs Groves will teach PSHE.
