Meet the Team
Welcome to Year 6
Year 6 is a significant year for our children and we want to ensure that every child is working to achieve their full potential. In Year 6 it is imperative that the children enjoy school life, but also work to become more self-motivated, independent learners - ready for the years ahead. It is really important that we work together on this journey, if you have any queries or concerns, please do speak with any of the team after school, by making an appointment through the office or via email - elarke@trawden.lancs.sch.uk
Let's make Year 6 a wonderful year for our children to cherish.
Thank you, Mrs Clarke, Mrs Waters, Miss Gallagher and Miss Westwell
