Year 6 Parents Guide 2026-27

2 At KJS we have 3 core values; we promote and celebrate these values each day and expect our students to demonstrate these both in lessons, around school and in the community. READY, RESPECTFUL and ENGAGED How parents can support • Establish consistent routines at home ensuring they have the correct uniform, footwear, equipment and books each day and realise the importance of being punctual. • Reinforce our expectations around being Ready, Respectful and Engaged through discussion at home. • Encourage participation in the array of extra-curricular opportunities we offer at KJS and support the importance of a positive attitude to learning. • Discuss your child’s Progress report with them when it is issued at the end of each Tracking Point • Support us by reviewing MCAS (My Child At School) daily and reinforcing positive behaviours.
