Welcome to Year 5

In Derwent class, we will explore new subject knowledge, develop our skills, and discover the joy of learning both inside and outside the classroom. Through teamwork, resilience, and exploration, our classroom is a supportive environment for every child to thrive with lots of enrichment opportunities throughout the year.
