Welcome to the Turtles Class Page!

Year 5 is an important year for our children as they make the transition from lower Key Stage 2 to upper Key Stage 2 and begin to think about life after Shaftesbury Park. During this year, we will work with your child to help them reach their targets and particularly focus on using their Enterprise skills to further prepare them for Year 6 and beyond.

We will also work with your child to prepare them to sit the Wandsworth Year 6 Test early next academic year.
