UKS2

Welcome to Upper Key Stage Two!

Welcome to UKS2!
At the heart of our Upper Key Stage 2 phase is a strong commitment to helping every child succeed - both academically and personally. We strive to create engaging and memorable learning experiences that spark curiosity and foster a love for learning.

Our aim is to balance high expectations with the celebration of each child’s unique strengths and achievements. We strive to support children in their journey to become independent and responsible members of our community. 

We place a strong emphasis on wellbeing and mental health, ensuring a supportive, inclusive, and welcoming environment where every child feels valued. Through nurturing relationships and encouraging environments, we help our pupils to let their light shine as they grow in confidence and prepare for their next steps—whether that's Year 6 or the transition to high school.

Spelling:

Spelling tests will take place every Wednesday. Test scores and your child’s test paper will be sent home the same day so you can see which words your child got correct and which they need to practise further.

New spellings for each week can be found under the Spellings section below. We have provided the full list of spellings for the half term, but children should only focus on the words for the current week.

The children will continue to learn the common exception words in their common exception word spelling lesson weekly. We have provided the full list of common exception words under the Spellings section below for your reference.
