Our Curriculum and the End of Year Expectations for Year Five
In this page you'll find information on the curriculum and end of year expectations for children in Year Five of our school.
The National Curriculum outlines these expectations as being the minimum requirements your child must meet in order to ensure continued progress. All the objectives will be worked on throughout the year and will be the focus of direct teaching.
Any extra support you can provide in helping your children with maths, reading and writing will be greatly beneficial and valued. If you would like to discuss how best to support your child in maths, reading and writing, please talk to their teacher or get in touch via email.
