Welcome to Year 6

What does Witton have to offer for a Year 6 pupil?

Welcome to Year 6 at Witton!

A very warm welcome from Dr Palmer, Head of Year 6, to our Year 6 webpage. Here, you’ll find all the key information, exciting opportunities, and important expectations that will help guide your child through their final year at Witton.

Dr Palmer is proud to lead a highly experienced and passionate Year 6 team:

+ Mrs Egginton (6SE)

+ Mrs Hebbes (6FH)

+ Miss Tryner (6GT)

+ Mrs Walker (6CW)

+ Mrs Watson (6KW)

Together, this team is committed to supporting every child as they grow, learn, and thrive during this crucial stage of their primary education.

As our pupils step into Year 6, they bring with them a strong sense of what it means to be part of the Witton family. This year is all about building on their previous learning, developing a deeper understanding, and preparing confidently for the next steps in their education.

Throughout the year, children will continue to grow in line with our school values of Growth, Collaboration, Belonging, and Curiosity. These values are embedded in all that we do—helping our pupils become thoughtful learners, supportive peers, and active members of the school community.

Year 6 also brings a host of exciting opportunities—from increased leadership roles to memorable trips and experiences that will help shape lasting memories and valuable life skills.

We’re incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils and look forward to a year full of growth, discovery, and success.
