Welcome to Year 5 - Simmonds Class!

Welcome to our Year 5 class page. This year, your child will be taught by Mrs Moore from Monday to Thursday and Mr Lawrence on Fridays. Our class is also supported throughout the week by our wonderful teaching assistant, Mr Evan.

A key focus of Year 5 is developing your child’s independence as they prepare to become leaders of the school in Year 6 and eventually move on to secondary school. We support this by encouraging the children to take responsibility for their learning both in school and at home, including coming to school prepared with the correct equipment each day.

An example of our weekly timetable

Throughout the year, we enjoy taking part in a range of curriculum weeks and whole-school events. Although your child’s timetable may vary from week to week, some elements remain constant—such as daily English and maths lessons each morning. Children also take part in regular sessions focused on reading, spelling, grammar, handwriting, and PSHE or Circle Time.

In the afternoons, we explore the wider curriculum. At Brentry, we take pride in offering a broad and balanced curriculum that inspires curiosity and supports every child in becoming a confident, enthusiastic learner.

Please visit our curriculum pages to find out more about what we cover in Year 5.
