End of Year Expectations - Year 5

This page provides information for parents and carers on the end of year expectations for children in our school. The staff have identified these expectations as being the minimum requirement  your child must meet in order to ensure continued progress throughout the following year.

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 to achieve these is greatly valued.

If you have any queries regarding the content of this page or want support in knowing how best to help your child please talk to your child’s teacher.
