Please
use
this
checklist
to
help
decide
whether
your
child
is
ready
for
Year
5
English
and
Mathematics
with
Wolsey
Hall.
Your
child
should
have
some
knowledge
of
(and
be
able
to
do)
most
things
on
this
checklist
prior
to
starting
Year
5.
This
is
only
to
be
used
as
a
guide
and
not
to
be
used
as
the
only
factor
in
placing
your
child
in
a
specific
year
group.
You
should
also
consider
maturity,
motivation
and
work
ethic.
We
want
your
child
to
find
the
best
fit
where
he
or
she
will
be
able
to
thrive
and
flourish!
