Make sure that Revision book pages are completed for homework (English by Tuesday, Maths by Thursday).
Make sure the children get a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast everyday.
Make sure children are in school on time and every day.
On the week of SATs-don’t book any appointments, be in school on time every day, make sure your child has plenty of sleep ad a healthy breakfast. If your child is ill, let us know immediately.
Work through the activities in the Easter Holidays and mark together.
Learn the spellings from weekly lessons and the Year 5/6 spellings.

6. Arrangements in school during sats week
The children will complete the tests in the classrooms where they are taught
The tables will be separated and the children will be seated in small groups.
The test is timed and the children complete them in silence
There will be extra adults in the classroom to support children with reading questions if needed
We will continue with the rest of the day as normal to give the children routine and familiarity
If there are special arrangements for your child you will be spoken to.
Some children will receive extra time and/or a reader.
Whilst we try not place pressure on the children, we help them to understand how important SATs are for their future education and we want them to achieve what we know they are capable of.
