Upper Key Stage Two 2026 - 2027

Welcome to our Upper Key Stage Two Unit

Welcome to Upper Key Stage Two at Richmond Academy. Years 5 and 6 provide children with opportunities to build on their learning, develop greater independence and prepare confidently for the next stage of their education. We have high expectations for all learners and encourage children to apply their knowledge, develop their skills and take increasing ownership of their learning.
