Year 6 Parents’ Evening

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Kind regards,

The Year 6 Team

NSPCC PANTS Assembly

This week, (03.11.25), children from Reception to Year 6 will be discussing the NSPCC’s PANTS rule as part of a class assembly, led by the class teacher.  During the assemblies, we will aim to teach our pupils the following important safety skills without giving explicit information.

We will be teaching our pupils the NSPCC’s underwear rule, using the ‘PANTS’ acrostic.

PANTS stands for:

  • Privates are private
  • Always remember your body belongs to you
  • No means no
  • Talk about secrets that upset you
  • Speak up, someone can help

The content of the session will be delivered in a way that is fully age appropriate.  The children will then complete additional class sessions in January as part of our ‘Share Aware’ week.

If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s campaign, please feel free to book onto the parent/ carer workshop hosted by the NSPCC, taking place at Newdale Primary school on 06.11.25 (2:30-3:00pm). This can be booked via Parent Pay. Alternatively, if you have any questions, please speak to the class teacher.

Thank you for your continued support.

Well done Year 6!

We are extremely proud of how well the children have settled into their new year group.

PE days will remain unchanged next half-term (Monday and Tuesday).

There is no homework to complete over half-term as we want the children to enjoy their break and to return refreshed on Monday 3rd November. Homework will be given on this day so please can children bring their homework books to school.

We have reminded children that along with their weekly homework, they are expected to read at least 5 times a week in year 6 and to record a detailed comment in their reading diary. We would really appreciate parental support and reminders for this, to help us support the children with their learning and also to prepare them for the homework expectations in secondary school.

Have a fabulous half-term!

Mrs Stack and Mrs Arthurs

 

Applying for a Secondary School place academic year 2026 – 2027

Parents need to apply by the closing date of 31st October 2025 for a secondary school place for September 2026, via the Parent Portal, accessed via Telford & Wrekin Council | Secondary School Admissions

Points to remember

– Apply for up to 4 schools to maximise the chance of receiving a preferred offer.

– Listing only 1 preference increases the risk of being allocated a school far from home.

Late applications are unlikely to secure a place at popular schools.

– The application deadline is 31st October 2025 for all secondary school applicants.

– This deadline also applies to all children with an Education Health and Care Plan. 

For any queries, parents can contact the Admissions Team at: admissions@telford.gov.uk
