I love a challenge and enjoy solving problems. I know my skills and aim to build on them to be the best I can be. I pursue my interests beyond the lesson and beyond the school. I share my passions and help to inspire others. | I follow the rules and use good manners. I treat everyone as I would like to be treated – showing kindness & consideration. I listen carefully to others – without interrupting. I think carefully about what I say and how I say it. I know that hurting someone is *never* OK. I look after my own and other people’s belongings. I value and take care of equipment and resources – tidying away when asked. | I aim to be in school every day and on time, with all of the equipment I need. I welcome new experiences & approach activities with curiosity. I always have a go. I attend clubs, enter competitions and fully participate in the life of our school. I appreciate the opportunities on offer -even if they are not for me! I remember that just because I can doesn’t mean I should! | I have my own opinion and share my views. I am my own person and value my skills and talents. I recognise that other people have interests and hobbies that I don’t share and that’s OK! I appreciate everyone’s uniqueness – wouldn’t it be boring if everyone was the same? I can be part of a team and still be me – because I know that if I work well with others I can achieve more. | I show commitment and keep going. If I have a problem I look for a solution. When things are hard I try my best and appreciate that to be successful I must practise. I know that the more effort I put in, the greater the result will be. I know that success takes time – if something goes wrong once that doesn’t mean it always will. | --- ### The Year 5 Curriculum The Year 5 curriculum is summarised below.

Regular attendance gives children the best opportunity to learn, make progress, build friendships and take part in the many exciting opportunities our school has to offer. We understand that children may sometimes be unable to attend due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances, and we are committed to working in partnership with families to support good attendance wherever possible. We encourage our children to take pride in their attendance, and our School Council regularly discusses attendance at meetings, helping to promote its importance across our school community. Each week, an **Attendance Trophy** is awarded to celebrate class attendance, and children are recognised with certificates for achieving 97% or above and 100% attendance. We are proud of our commitment to attendance and **continually strive to improve**. By working together, we can help every child make the most of their time at Forefield, enjoy school life and achieve their full potential. --- ### School Uniform At Forefield Junior School, we believe that wearing a school uniform helps our pupils feel a sense of identity and belonging, as well as encouraging a co-operative spirit within our school. It also reduces the need to keep up with changing fashions. **School Uniform** - Royal blue V-neck school pullover (with or without school logo) - Grey tailored trousers, shorts, pinafore or skirt - White shirt and school tie - Grey socks - Black school shoes (not trainers or boots) **Summer options:** - White polo shirt (with or without school logo) - Blue gingham dress **Games Kit** In order to eliminate time spent changing and maximise time spent in physical activity, children should wear their games kit to school on the days they have games/indoor PE. - Navy or black shorts - Plain white t-shirt or polo shirt - short socks - trainers A navy jogging suit may be worn over games kit on cold days. For indoor PE, children usually have bare feet, but may wear pumps if they wish. No jewellery should be worn in school, with the exception of watches and plain stud earrings, which must be removed during Games, PE and Swimming lessons. Children should not wear nail polish or make-up. --- ### Classes - [3B - Mrs Houghton's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/3b-miss-berrys-class) - [3H - Miss Harper's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/3h-miss-harper-s-class) - [3KS - Mrs Khan-Wood & Miss Smith's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/3ks-miss-khan-mrs-summers-class) - [4H - Mrs Hill's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/4h-mrs-hills-class) - [4M - Miss Mawdsley's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/4p-mr-parrys-class) - [4L - Mrs Lambrianides's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/4w-mrs-wilson-s-class) - [5H - Mrs Harding's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/5h-mrs-hardings-class) - [5R - Mr Shannon's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/5r-mr-shannons-class) - [5S - Mrs Schwartz's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/5s-mrs-schwartzs-class) - [6C - Mr Croot's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/6c-mr-croots-class) - [6P - Miss Cain's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/6p-miss-cains-class) - [6W - Mr Wood's Class](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/classes/6w-mr-woods-class) ### [Latest News](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/news) [![Image of School Meals](https://files.schudio.com/forefield-junior-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/Dolce_meal.jpg)](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/news/2026-07-14-school-meals) #### [School Meals](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/news/2026-07-14-school-meals) 14 July 2026 [![Hedge Planting in the Sunshine ](https://files.schudio.com/forefield-junior-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/IMG_1201(1).jpeg)](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/news/2026-04-26-hedge-planting-in-the-sunshine) #### [Hedge Planting in the Sunshine ](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/news/2026-04-26-hedge-planting-in-the-sunshine) 26 April 2026 #### [End of half-term](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/news/2026-02-13-end-of-half-term) 13 February 2026 ### Contact Us **Forefield Junior School** Forefield Lane Crosby Liverpool L23 9TJ Tel: 0151 924 3971 ### School Opening Time School Day: 8:45am - 3.30pm Office Hours: 8:30am - 4.45pm [Contact Us](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/contact) - [X](http://twitter.com/forefieldjs) © Copyright 2021–2026 Forefield Junior School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
