During SATs week, after school there will be drop-in sessions for
children and parents to discuss or any concerns. These will be
daily from 3.15 – 4pm until the end of SATs week.
What happens next …
• You will receive a print out of the results in
July
• The result are not sub-levelled and an
explanation of national expectation is
included although your child has been set
a personalised target to reach
• Teacher Assessments are also included
and I submit my assessment in May
• Results are fed to High School – but my
Teacher Assessments are also included
Breakfast Club
• On the week of SATs I will have a breakfast club.
• Children can turn up any time after 8.25am for toast and juice.
• We have found in the past that this helps reduce anxiety as the children
can talk to their friends and me before the day begins.
How can you help?
• Ensure your child has a goodnight’s sleep.
• Make sure they eat breakfast.
• Try to keep them calm and remind them that as long as they try
their best that’s all we ask
• Make sure they arrive at school in plenty of time.
• Even if your child is ill during that week it is really important to
get them to school.
• If there are any issues please ring as soon as possible in the
morning
