Pioneers Class

Class Teacher: Miss Mullett

Support Staff: Miss Park

Welcome to Pioneers

Our Pioneers Class is our upper KS2 class, made up of children in Years 5 and 6 and represents the final stage of their learning journey at High Coniscliffe.

As children move into Pioneers, they continue to build on the knowledge, skills and strong foundations developed throughout school. Children are expected to make increasingly sophisticated connections in their learning, think critically, apply what they know in different contexts and take greater responsibility for their own learning.

Reading, writing and mathematics remain central to children’s learning. Across the wider curriculum, children deepen their subject knowledge and become increasingly confident in thinking and working in ways that are appropriate to different subjects. They are encouraged to question, reason, investigate, evaluate, create and communicate their ideas with growing confidence and independence.

As the oldest children in our school, Pioneers have increasing opportunities to take responsibility, contribute and lead. They are encouraged to be positive role models, support younger children and play an active part in the life of our school and wider community. These experiences build on opportunities for responsibility and contribution throughout school and help prepare children for the next stage of their lives.

Our Christian vision, “I can do all things…”, our school values and the High Coniscliffe Way continue to underpin life in Pioneers. We want children to leave High Coniscliffe confident in what they have achieved, ready to embrace new challenges and understanding the positive contribution they can make to the world around them.

END OF KEY STAGE TWO EXPECTATIONS

When children are in Year 6 they will be assessed against the end of key stage two teacher assessment framework; a mixture of formal tests (SATS) and teacher assessment in writing and science. Further information about SATS will be shared in the spring term.
