Year 6: Endeavour

Staffing:

Endeavour – Class Teacher: Miss Gough
Year 5 and 6 TA team: Mrs Roper, Mrs Fitz , Mrs Cox, Mrs Boots and Miss Gooding

Welcome to Endeavour Class!

Year 6 is a class of 30 enthusiastic learners who endeavour to try their best in everything they do.

As we are the oldest children in the school, we strive to go above and beyond to ensure we are the role models for younger children. We are supportive of our peers and always encourage others to do their best. We always aspire to do better than our personal best and do not compare ourselves with others. Most importantly our number 1 class rule is to always have fun!

Endeavour Class have many leadership roles within the school: house captains; charity committee; librarians and school councillors. As a class, we love to take ownership of things happening in the school. We love to voice our opinions and support others to make St Barnabas the best place it can be.
