Unfortunately due to the current circumstances, it is not possible at present, to hold a meeting regarding the KS2 SATs. However, please see the video below which will provide useful information. If you do have any questions, please do not hesitate to raise these during the Parent Teacher Consultations.
This week, we announced the children who would receive the Headteacher’s Award from each class. Below are the children who received their Headteacher’s Award this week for a number of reasons. We are so proud of YOU!
6BB – Isabella
For writing an excellent gadget description and using a range of causal conjunctions.
6GM – Abbie
A fantastic effort in English for writing a character description. Well done!
6KP – Amelia
Always trying her best and having a ‘PERFECT’ start to year 6. Thank you for being you and such an asset to our team
In a special assembly today for Year 6, Mrs Maude announced the names of the children who will represent their class as part of the School Council. Congratulations and well done to those who were successful and all of those who participated.
Today Mrs Maude conducted a very special assembly (for the Year 6 children) to announce who would be this year’s Head Boy and Head Girl. Over the course of the past two weeks, we have heard so many amazing speeches from the children – it was certainly a difficult choice! A massive well done to all those who participated. Please see below the names of the children and also a video clip of when their names were announced in the assembly.
From September and in line with Government Guidance, we will be getting outside a lot more (in all sorts of weather conditions), this will include our PE lessons.
We will be asking the children to come into school on their PE days IN THEIR PE UNIFORM. (They will find out their PE days during the first week back). They will then stay in this for the day, so a change of clothes will not be needed in school. The main reason for this change is for safety reasons; it has been advised that we reduce the amount of belongings that are coming to and from each home and onto the school site.
For the older children, this change also comes about as there will be reduced space for them to change separately (boys and girls) due to them being in their class bubbles.
To make sure that the children are suitably dressed once the cooler weather sets in, we would like the children to have black jogging bottoms, a black hoody or sweatshirt and suitable outdoor footwear to wear alongside their usual white t-shirt and black shorts.
Good day Year 6! Hope you are all well and making the most of the final days of the summer holidays? The Year 6 Team are really looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday 2nd September and listening to all of your news. From September, how you arrive and leave school will be a little different and each class will come and leave the school at different times.

Well Year 6 of 2020, unfortunately it is a time to bid you farewell and wish each and every one of you good luck in your next step as you now move on to Secondary School. It certainly has been an eventful year but the Year 6 Team all wanted to leave a message for you and wish you well on your journey.
Mrs A-B
It has been a pleasure getting to know you all over your time at Coundon. I’m sorry we never got to do the fun bits after SAT’s but I will look forward to hearing all about your new adventures when you come back to see us at the reunion. Be happy, keep smiling and always remember you are fabulous just the way you are (unless you’re being naughty!!)
We will miss you but are very proud of you all! Mrs A-B
Mr Mahal
It certainly has been an eventful year but through it all, we have got to watch you grow as individuals and become the stars that you are. I have enjoyed every moment with you all in the classroom, participating in the trips/events and listening to your stories – you have certainly kept me entertained so thank you. Good luck in the next step of your journey. It would be great to see how you are all doing and we look forward to seeing you all together at the reunion.
Keep smiling, keep positive 🙂 Mr Mahal
Mrs Goode
Year 6 what a fantastic time we had in the short few months we were together. I have enjoyed it all. Our cold trip to the Magna centre, the Greek museum and the random conversations we all had with Mrs A-B which sparked so much discussion and debate. I wish you all well on your next adventure. Your senior schools are lucky to have you joining them. Make the most of every opportunity that comes your way and shine like the stars that you are.
Take care see you all soon, Mrs Goode.
Mrs Howat
I would like to wish Year 6 a very happy and successful future as you start your new adventure.
I’ve loved working with you and getting to know you. You never fail to make me smile.
Stay safe and I can’t wait to hear your news when we can finally all meet at the reunion.
Welcome all to Year 6. I know this must be quite a nervous time of year as you have probably just found out who will be your new class teacher from September. There will be some changes in Year 6 and you will also notice that there are new teachers and teaching assistants too! So I guess we are all feeling slightly nervous but extremely excited too. Below you will find some information on the Year 6 staff and if you have any questions please send us an email (see below). More importantly, make sure you all have a WONDERFUL summer break and we cannot wait to see you in September. Take care and see you soon.

Mr Bramhill
Welcometo6BB
My name is Mr Bramhill and I’m going to be joining you in September. I’m so excited to start teaching you! From talking to Miss Perrett and Mr Mahal, I can already see what an amazing year we are going to have together. I imagine it’s probably going to feel quite strange for you, not having met me yet, but don’t worry- I feel a bit nervous too. This is perfectly normal. I’ll tell you a little bit about myself so that you have some idea of who I am and what I enjoy doing.

I’ve been teaching for quite a long time now and teaching Year 6 is definitely my favourite year group. Everyone will have grown up over the summer and be ready to take on the responsibilities of being the top of the school. I have high expectations of your behaviour and work, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have fun. I believe that the key to success in Year 6 is a combination of hard work and lots of fun.
In my spare time, I really enjoy exercising, biking, skateboarding, football, going to the gym and reading. I also enjoy playing the piano when I’m not too busy with school work
As well as teaching you in Year 6, I’m going to be the Y5/6 Phase Leader and the Assistant Head Teacher for Key Stage 2, helping Mrs Maude and Mr Scott. I’m looking forward to my new role and will make sure that we have the best time possible.
I hope that you have all had an amazing break from school and are feeling really excited to come back in September. Although I’m feeling nervous, I know that we’re going to have an incredible year together as you start your final year at Coundon Primary.
I can’t wait to meet you all!
Mr Bramhill
Ms. Goode
Hello 6BB
Hi to all. Welcome to Year 6. I can’t wait to get to know you all and work with you. I have been in year 6 for a couple of years and most of you would have seen me around school. There will be lots of new and exciting things to learn and experience and I can’t wait to be there with you all along the way.
Class 6GM
Mr Mahal
Good Day 6GM!
Hello and welcome all to Class 6GM. As many of you may already know, my name is Mr Mahal and I have been at Coundon Primary since September 2014 – quite a while now. I have heard many good things about you all from your previous Year 4 and 5 teachers and they hold you in such high regard. As well as that, I am really looking forward to working with you over the year and watching you flourish; whether it be academically, building your confidence or making those small positive steps towards your learning – it will be an amazing journey.
Mrs Howat
Hello 6GM
Hello, I hope you’re all safe and well and I can’t wait to meet you all in September.
I have worked in Year 6 with Mr Mahal for 2 years. I have three grown up sons, no pets but looking to get a dog anytime soon. I love listening to music and singing although, I’ve been told by my children I’m not very tuneful. I like to bake and love to eat what I have made. My favourite treat is dark chocolate and I love the colour green. My book recommendation would be Esio Trot by Roald Dahl.
