Year 6 A-Z of Useful Information 

Be Ready

Check out our Be Ready guidance which outlines the skills and responsibilities expected from our pupils as they enter each new class group.

Growth Mindset

At Garsington all pupils, staff, and parents are encouraged to have a growth mindset. Check out ideas and guidance on how you can achieve this via the Growth Mindset page.

Homework

Homework is of increasing importance in Year 6 and we will expect all children to hand in their homework on time each week. Work is put on Google Classroom on a Thursday and will be due in by the following Tuesday. As the year progresses, children will be given SATs buster booklets which they will be expected to complete. In addition, the children will have weekly spellings - these spellings need to be learned by Tuesday for a test on that day. 

Lunch Menu

In Year 6 pupils must pay for school dinners and parents should book dinners via School Grid. If you think you are eligible for free school meals, please contact the School Office. Dolce is our supplier. 

PE

This term we will be doing PE on Tuesday afternoons. When the weather permits, we will go down to the ‘Rec’ with Year 5. It is therefore really important that your child has the correct PE kit. This includes: 

· White polo shirt or plain white T-shirt; plain dark shorts; and trainers (plimsolls are optional for indoor wear). 

· Tracksuits are permitted during outdoor PE . 

· Long hair must be tied back during all PE lessons. 

-Small studs must be taped or, ideally removed, for PE. Children should bring their own Microporous Surgical Tape to school in a clearly named box. 

· Grey or black trousers or shorts
