Setting Your Child Up For Future Success

If you want to ensure your child is best-prepared for the challenge of Intermediate and High School, while still being part of a full primary school, that preparation begins here – at Hereworth Years 5 & 6.

Years 5 & 6 are an incredibly important time for boys and girls. The learning habits, the self-discipline, the resilience – all of these characteristics are beginning to bloom during this time, giving your child essential life skills as they grow into young boys and girls.

Our specialist teachers, small class sizes, incredible opportunities and outstanding academic curriculum will give your child the confidence and belief to tackle anything the upcoming Intermediate years can throw at them.

Academic Excellence at Years 5 & 6

At Hereworth, we get the basics right. Our academic and mathematics programmes are second to none, with structured literacy a feature for every year group, and streaming mathematics in place from Year 6 onward. The end result – your child gets taught the essential skills at a level that suits them, ensuring the best chance for success.

Small Class Sizes. Specialist Teachers.

No classrooms with 60+ students. No distracting environments where your child gets lost in the shuffle. Our Year 5 & 6 classes are capped at 22 children, ensuring a world-class teaching environment where your child will be seen AND heard.

Plus with specialist teachers for all Year 5 & 6 students, you can rest assured knowing your child is being taught by someone qualified, passionate and invested in their success.

Choir performances, sports trips, competitive events and more - Years 5 & 6 are when the opportunities fully open up to our students, giving them countless opportunities to thrive while discovering their passions.

It's not all books and laptops, though. With camps, day trips and adventures planned throughout the year, your child will develop character, friendships and resilience far outside the classroom. 

Our world-class specialist teachers will ensure your child gets seen, heard and properly educated across a range of academic subjects, from streaming maths to structured literacy. 

True Character and Friendships Blossom Here

Going into the Intermediate/High School years is a lot easier with some friends at your side. At Hereworth, we see those friendships begin to blossom in Years 5 & 6, making the upcoming journey a lot less intimidating. Plus we have the advantage of being a full primary school, so you’re not shuffling your child off to an Intermediate where they have to start all over again

Preparing for the years ahead, and more

At Hereworth, Years 7 & 8 are when students can begin to see the fruits of their hard work and the opportunities to become a school leader are available. School prefects, Head Boy, Head Girl, squad leaders, sports captains – these are just some of the prominent, valued roles available to our students in the later years, and those opportunities begin their development in Years 5 & 6


Endless Opportunities

The sport. The music. The performing arts. The academic extension. Hereworth is a school alive with opportunity and possibility. It’s a place where curiosity is rewarded, pushing yourself is encouraged, and resilience is baked-in through doing, trying and smiling, whatever the end results.

If your child has a hobby, a love of sport or an extra-curricular passion, this is the place for them. And if they don’t? We’ll present them with a full menu of options and see if we can get those fires burning.
