Rooted in the values of leadership, faith and family, children in Years 5 and 6 are given meaningful opportunities to grow in responsibility, serve others, and reflect deeply on their role in the wider world. #### Our curriculum is broad, rich and ambitious. Pupils study: - Maths - English - Science - Design and Technology - History - Geography - Art and Design - Music - Physical Education (PE) - Computing - Modern Foreign Language - As well as: - Religious Education (delivered under the guidance of the Southwark Diocese) - Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) Learning is brought to life through a wide range of inspirational experiences. Children take part in enriching trips to places such as the Courts of Justice, the Globe Theatre, and the Tate Modern, developing cultural literacy and a strong sense of community, creativity and self-expression. We are also proud to welcome visiting authors, artists, creators, and other inspiring individuals from our local community, who share their stories and spark children's ambitions for the future. Through these experiences and a strong foundation of academic learning, our Upper Juniors leave us ready for the next stage of their journey—grounded in faith, supported by family, and empowered to lead. ### Year 5 As the children move to the Upper Juniors in Year 5 children are rearranged so that they have the opportunity to work with new children or reacquaint themselves with friends they may have worked with in the past. It is during this academic year that we encourage parents to begin to think about secondary school choices. Visits to secondary school open days are encouraged and an after school meeting for parents takes place in the summer term where the Year 7 application process is fully explained. The Year 5 children also look forward to their week-long residential camping trip at the beginning of June. ### Year 6 At the year progresses, the Year 6 children begin to think more about the end of their time at Corpus Christi School and their transition to secondary school. In the past, this has included talks from Transport for London, the Metropolitan Police and First Aid courses as well as visits to and from their secondary schools. The Year 6 children also prepare for their statutory end of primary school KS2 SATs tests which take place in the second week of May. The preparation for these tests also involves the children staying in school for extra ‘booster classes’ on a Thursday from the second half of the autumn term. Key Stage 2 tests cover: - English reading - English grammar, punctuation and spelling - Maths – arithmetic and reasoning - Writing (teacher assessed) More information about the SATs tests can be found **[here](https://corpuschristischool.co.uk/learning/curriculum/sats-in-year-6)** or at ****. As a reward for all of their hard work, the Year 6 children look forward to their week-long residential trip to the Little Canada PGL centre on the Isle of Wight, as well as various leavers’ activities. This culminates in the Leavers’ Service and BBQ in the last week of the summer term. ![Corpus Christi Catholic School](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-school-2/images/logo/CORPUS_CHRISTI_LOGO.png) #### Corpus Christi Catholic School Trent Road London SW2 5BL 020 7274 4722 020 7737 2796 #### Useful Links - [Who to Contact](https://corpuschristischool.co.uk/parents/who-to-contact) - [Governance](https://corpuschristischool.co.uk/our-school/governors) - [Admissions](https://corpuschristischool.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Ofsted](https://corpuschristischool.co.uk/parents/ofsted) #### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/CCbrixton) © Copyright 2025–2026 Corpus Christi Catholic School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://corpuschristischool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
