How have we prepared in school? We practise! We have already worked through a number of similar papers. Covered all necessary topics in lessons, making learning fun and hands on. Regular informal assessments to make sure they are on track and spot any problems. Small group work with targeted pupils to tackle issues during assemblies and lessons. Past questions to help children with SATs wording. Encouraged them to ask for questions to be read to them. Encouraged them to talk about any worries or issues they have. Preparing SATs groups after school and a SATs holiday club at Easter
