Y6 Curriculum Overview

Welcome to our Year 6 curriculum page. We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful.

We think Acre Heads Primary brings something special to every child that walks through our doors – we offer an exciting curriculum experience to all our children. Our school ethos is built on our core values: BELIEF, DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE and TEAMWORK and enables children to achieve extraordinary things.

On this page, you will find further information about our Year 6 curriculum, useful videos, links and resources for starting Year 6 with insights into the activities and learning environments within the year group.

Thank you to Greg from Bootyman Oriel for visiting Year 6 to talk to them about printing.

The children loved wearing hair nets and learning about how colours are used in the print industry using large Heidelberg print presses.

They had some excellent questions, well done Year 6
