Hadrian Academy

Welcome to Year 6 at Hadrian Academy we hope that you are looking forward to this year.

As you are aware Year 6 is a very busy time for the children. We have plenty of work to do in preparation for SATs as well as our residential and of course graduation.

Your teachers are Mrs Byrne who will teach Dolphin Class and Ms Perkins who will teach Tiger Class.

Our teaching assistants are Mrs Edwards, Mrs MacEwen, Mrs Maitland and Mrs Taylor.

P.E.

We have P.E lessons on a Friday each week. Your child needs to wear their PE kit to school. This will include their house t-shirt, jumper, navy tracksuit bottoms, royal blue shorts and black trainers.

Communication

We welcome any questions you have and the best time to catch us is usually after school. Please check your ParentMail account regularly for letters, reminders and upcoming events. Communication is also made via Class Dojo.
