Newsflash: Year 6 parents/carers and pupils.
Yesterday, it was confirmed that there will be no Year 6 SATs assessments in May. This is really pleasing news as it decreases the pressure of covering a whole year’s work before the May deadline. It will also allow us additional time to ensure that your child is thoroughly prepared for their transition to secondary education. The SATs test will be replaced by some form of teacher assessment and therefore it is really important to keep working as hard as possible, just like you have done already.
Best wishes and stay safe,
Mr Jones
