Learning themes include: World War One, The Vikings and China. As well as the subjects taught by specialists in PE, Music and Modern Foreign Languages, French is also introduced. Pupils begin to get a glimpse into Senior School life by going to their Languages lessons in specialist classrooms.

Pupils and parents continue to receive information, via Route Maps, about their child’s learning either for the term (pupils) or the year (parents).  The student Route Map is developed further in this Year Group to add to the autonomy of learning with written detail added.  Combined with a termly Knowledge Organiser, children are clear what they need to know and what they will be studying.

Year 5 is often the age that the pupils are ready to begin to represent the School for the first time in sporting events.  Our pupils have participated in local, regional and national events representing the School in Swimming, Gymnastics, Netball and Triathlon.

By this age, the students are confident in choosing the wide variety of Co-Curricular activities the School offers. As well as a myriad of sporting choices, children in the Preparatory School begin to be join choirs led by the specialists at Loughborough Schools Music, opportunities to attend Debating Club, Chess Club and the Amherst Prep Choir continue to be available to them.

Year 5 is a vital year in consolidating and improving on all the work that has taken place so far as well as ensuring the building blocks are in place to excel in Year 6.  It is an opportunity and a privilege to see and support pupils’ visible growth in knowledge and confidence over the course of this year.

"I will forever be grateful for how wonderful, caring, nurturing and encouraging you make that school. It really is a wonderful school and I know this is echoed by all of the parents who continue to give you a glowing report and appreciate the big, and little things that you do every day. Thank-you Amherst for doing what you do."
