Mrs McDermott
| Welcome to Year 6! |
In Year 6, we certainly believe in a work hard, play hard attitude!
Our Year 6 team is:
- Mrs McDermott – Class Teacher
- Mrs Downie – Mondays
- Mrs Russell – Tuesdays to Fridays
- Mrs Dobson – Teaches on Thursdays during my management time. This may be for the morning, afternoon, or the full day. I will always communicate this to the children in advance so they know what to expect.
Important information about the equipment and resources your child will need each day can be found on the Year 6 homepage: Dean Valley Primary School: Year 6
As this is your child's final year at Dean Valley, let's work together to make it their best one yet.

Things to remember daily:
Uniform in year 6 Thank you for ensuring all children have indoor and outdoor shoes for the start of the term. Indoor shoes will stay in school on their chair. Children only need one pair of outdoor shoes that they will wear to and from school. Children require their indoor PE kit at all times in school, whether they keep this in their school bag or place it in a bag on their peg – either is fine. Monday Newsletters Make sure you keep an eye on the newsletter as I will be posting important information and updates and sharing photos of our activities and work from the week. A lot of the newsletter will be completed by the year 6 media team, so it is great to see what your children have produced each week.
