The Cathedral School

Year 5 and 6 Summer Term 2026

Welcome to the final term of the 2025/26 school year.  
 
The year 6 children have been working hard preparing for SATs.  This is a fantastic opportunity for them to show off all the fantastic learning they have done throughout their time in primary school.  We are certainly ready to give them the send off they deserve. 
This term we will be learning about the Plymouth Blitz in History, rivers in geography and heart and circulation in science.  As always, there will be lots of reading, writing, RE and maths.
