Year 6 SATs

Dear Parent/Carer,

1) 2023 Key Stage 2 (KS2) national curriculum tests (SATs)

The KS2 SATs will take place during the week commencing 8th May 2023. Below are the SATs dates for each test throughout the week.

Please note that the 2023 KS2 SATs were originally due to start on Monday 8th May 2023, but this has been postponed by one day to Tuesday 9th May due to the additional bank holiday in honour of the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.

Timetable for SATs week

2) All things SATs after-school drop-in session

 We are inviting parents to attend an informal drop-in session where we will be looking at a variety of SAT materials. The drop-in session will be on Monday 6^th February and we will be available between 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm to answer any questions you may have regarding the SATs.

3) Year 6 SATs revision/practice books

 In response to the large number of requests from parents for SATs revision materials, the school has purchased a reading, maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling practice book for each child. Your child will soon be given these and will have a schedule to complete the practice questions.  The schedule will be published on Dojo for reference each week.

4) Homework

Again, in response to parental requests, we will be providing weekly maths homework which will take the form of a link to access a specific challenge, found on the Mathsbot web site. If your child has no access to an electronic device, we will provide them with a paper copy of the challenge to be completed.

MathsBot is a great resource which we will be encouraging children to use as often as possible at home to practise maths skills which they find more engaging.

If you would like to have a look at the site and try some of the resources, here is the link to MathsBot.com:

We will be focussing on the primary school maths skills.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Edwards and Mrs Morgan
