Welcome to Beech and Chestnut Class (Year 5) 2026-2027

The children in Beech and Chestnut Class have settled into the new academic year incredibly well, and we are very proud of the school values they are already displaying in our first week back of the autumn term. It has been fantastic to welcome them back and hear all about their adventures over the summer break. We have had an exciting week with the launch of our topic, ‘Early Civilisations’, and the children have enjoyed getting stuck into our new class text, The Firework Maker’s Daughter.

Just to inform you, Year 5 PE will be on a Wednesday (Outdoor) and Friday (Indoor) this year. The children will need to wear their PE kit into school, which they will wear for the duration of the day.

If you have any queries, concerns or questions, please feel free to catch us at the end of the day during pick-up, or drop us an email or call via the office. We are always willing to help where we can.

This year, our Year 5 staff team includes:

Mrs Byrne – Chestnut Class Teacher (Monday to Wednesday)

Mrs Roberts – Chestnut Class Teacher (Wednesday to Friday)

Mr Liddiard – Beech Class Teacher

Mrs Lowe – HLTA and Year Group LSA

Mrs Crook – ELSA and Year Group LSA

Ms Lynch – Year Group LSA
