Year 6
In Year 6, there are two classes; 6O, taught by Mrs Oakley and 6B, taught by Mr Blair. The children are also supported by Mrs Benton, Mrs Budziszewski, and Mrs Tucker.
The Year 6 children are Navigators.
Our learning pathways are individual, yet inter-connected, leading students on a journey of discovery. As Navigators, we lead the way and, through out curriculum lessons, we are teaching our children to be:
· Leaders
· Able to apply skills
· Overcomers
· Focused

Summer Term 2 - The Pendle Witches
‘True Crime? The Pendle Witches’ is an investigative-style unit focusing on the events leading up to, and the trials of, the Pendle Witches in 1612.
The Pendle Witches were a group of men and women who were arrested, sentenced and executed in Lancaster for the crime of witchcraft. Pupils will use investigative skills such as analysing and evaluating evidence, using this to draw their own reasoned conclusions. Pupils will explore the element of cause and consequence to link historical persecutions to modern-day examples.
