Year 6

 Welcome to Year 6 - Please view our Meet the Teacher presentation here. 

Please view our SATs and Laches Wood presentation here

Our Year Six class teachers are Mrs Taylor and Mr Nickless. Mr. Ware teaches Maths, Reading and Writing in Year 6 sets and our teaching assistant is Mrs Jones.

We work hard to develop skills and an increasingly independent and mature approach towards learning, which prepares the children for a smooth transition to high school. 

Children are streamed into three ability groups for Maths and English, allowing for smaller class sizes and a focus on the needs of the individual. We encourage a strong relationship between home and school and are keen to work alongside parents and carers to provide a challenging, stimulating and supported education.  There are many exciting opportunities for the children to learn through a new broad and creative curriculum.

In the event you may wish to contact staff for any reason, the following email addresses are available:

Mr R Nickless: r.nickless@st-lukes-cannock.staffs.sch.uk

Mrs N Taylor: n.taylor@st-lukes-cannock.staffs.sch.uk 

Mr D Ware (Deputy Headteacher): d.ware@st-lukes-cannock.staffs.sch.uk

Year 6 SATs will take place W/C 12th May 2025 the tests are statutory not optional. There will be a meeting in the Spring Term to discuss the tests.
