Welcome to Year 5!
Year Five is part of the ‘Upper Phase’ in our school. Mrs Jelley is the phase leader and her role is to support the staff, children and families. If you have any questions, concerns or positive feedback then we would love to hear from you. You can contact Mrs Jelley via the school office or by emailing admin@manorpark.coventry.sch.uk or on Class Dojo.
In Year 5, we’re proud to offer every child the chance to shine — not just academically, but socially and emotionally too. With a carefully designed curriculum and supportive environment, your child will be encouraged to grow in confidence, creativity and independence.
Our learning journey is packed with exciting, hands-on experiences that bring the curriculum to life through our immersive topics: ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’, ‘To Infinity and Beyond’, and ‘Spirit of Samba’. From stepping back in time to explore the wonders of Ancient Egypt, to launching into space at the National Space Centre in Leicester, and even stargazing inside a mobile planetarium, your child will be right at the heart of the action. And that's not all — we’ll also welcome a real-life Amazon rainforest explorer to share thrilling stories and discoveries from deep within the jungle!
As a team, we love celebrating every success, big or small, and we’re right there to guide and support pupils through any challenges they may encounter. Our SOAR values are woven into everything we do, helping children develop strong personal qualities and a positive mindset. By the end of the year, they’ll be well-prepared, focused, and excited for the transition into Year 6 — ready to take on new challenges with pride and resilience.
If you ever have any questions or want to chat with your child’s class teacher, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — you can contact us through the school office or send a message via Class Dojo. We’re always happy to help! By working together, we can make sure your child has a fantastic, successful and enjoyable time in Year 5.
