Welcome to Year 5 

Welcome to the Year 5 section of the St Ignatius' website.  In this section of the website we aim to include details that may be useful to parents of Year 5 children, such as homework, spellings and details of Year 5 routines.  We will also showcase a selection of the fantastic work that our talented children have produced.

We believe that the best outcomes for your child are achieved by taking a collaborative approach to their learning; therefore if you need to contact us then please do so before or after school.  We look forward to working with you to ensure that your child’s learning journey is a positive one.

Regards,

The Year 5 Team
