Bodiam Class (Year 6)

Welcome to Year 6 – Bodiam Class!

In Bodiam Class, we stand tall in our final year at Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green — just like the magnificent Bodiam Castle, which rises proudly from its wide, watery moat in the East Sussex countryside.

Built over 600 years ago to defend against invasion, Bodiam Castle is one of the most iconic and beautiful castles in England. With its soaring towers, hidden staircases, and strong stone walls, it symbolises courage, wisdom, and readiness — everything we aim to be in Year 6.

This is a year of challenge and achievement. We’ll push ourselves academically, develop leadership skills, and prepare for the exciting transition to secondary school. From mastering complex maths and refining our writing, to leading younger pupils and tackling SATs, we’ll do it all with determination, teamwork, and pride.

Like Bodiam Castle, we are ready to defend what matters, face challenges with resilience, and leave a legacy. Together, we’ll celebrate how far we’ve come and set our sights on all that lies ahead.

Bodiam Class – leading with strength, learning with purpose, and leaving with pride.
