Year 6

In these unprecedented times where we find schools are closed, we have put together some recommended websites and educational activities for parents to complete with their child. We have provided each child with an exercise book to record their learning and we look forward to making time to share the children’s learning when we return to school.

Please also refer to your year group curriculum map

A number of educational websites have made their content available for home use over the next few months. Many of them have easy to find Year 6 resources that you can use with your child to support their learning from home.

Websites that are currently free to use:
