Herstmonceux Welcome to Sycamore Class
2025/26
Our Year 6 teaching team is Miss Mortland and Mrs Hibbert.
Welcome to Year 6 – the final year at primary school! We’re looking forward to an exciting and rewarding year ahead. Year 6 can be hard work but also incredibly rewarding and great fun. We plan to provide a varied and stimulating curriculum through which we can also prepare the children for their SATs in May. We are committed to helping every child reach their potential and achieve as well as possible in their final year.
