Year 6 2021 - 2022

Welcome to year 6

Welcome to a new and exciting school year for the Year 6 students - their final year at St. Ambrose.

We've got lots of enjoyable learning to do this year. After the disruption due to Covid let us hope we can enjoy a year of relative normality.

We look forward to working with parents to see your children get ready for secondary school, showing more independence, resilience and maturity. 

This page will be updated throughout the year with key information as well as celebrating the learning and achievements of your child's journey in year 6.
