Upper School Curriculum and National Tests
The Upper School is made up of children from years 4, 5 and 6. The adults in this phase of school work together to give children the best learning opportunities possible.
The oldest children in this phase are very important leaders and role models. All children in year 6 are expected to take on a leadership role so they can contribute meaningfully to the community through their work.
During this phase of school, children are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for their learning. Book bags need to be in school daily and children are expected to read on a daily basis and make sure that this is recorded in their reading journals.
Mrs Neale is the Phase Leader for Upper School and he is happy to answer any questions that you may have. She is available on the playground at drop off and pick up time or you can make an appointment through the school office.

Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check
Children in year 4 will complete a short Multiplication Tables Check in June. This check will help us provide additional support where needed. We will be writing to you nearer the time to update you with more information.
In the meantime, Oxford Owl has produced some helpful ideas to help your child be ready for the check.

Thank you so much, our child couldn’t be happier.
I would like to express my gratitude to the extent the school supports the festival of Eid Ul Adha. Not only by allowing the children a day to celebrate with their families but also by celebrating these events in the school as well.
Pupils work hard to be positive role models and give support to others. They are
very proud of the work they do as restorative practitioners, play buddies and wellbeing ambassadors. This is a highly inclusive school.
Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are excellent. They are respectful, considerate and polite. Pupils are incredibly thoughtful and look after one another
We are very happy with the school and our child’s progress.
I have full faith in Mrs Clarkson and her wonderful team. They have bent over backwards over the past year to make sure my daughter has an education and I know they will continue to do so. They are amazing and I am so great full for their support for my child throughout the lockdowns. They have exceeded my expectations as they always go the extra mile.
Pupils feel safe and cared
for in the school. Parents agree.
Pearson Primary School has gone above and beyond the realms of every day teaching and learning in this challenging year. Thank you to the wonderful staff for all they do, both seen and unseen. Our child is happy, inspired, challenged, supported and making progress – what more could we ask for?
The teachers are always looking out for the children and they are nice to the children.
My child loves the school and enjoys her time here.
I have had a lovely afternoon hearing the Year 1 children read so thank you. I was so impressed with the calmness and maturity of the children.
