Y6 SATs

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We would like to remind you that Year 6 SATs week will take place next week. This is an important time for the children, and we are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication they have shown throughout the year.

Our aim is to ensure that all children feel confident, calm, and well-prepared so they can do their very best.

Your support makes a huge difference. Here are some simple but effective ways to help your child feel ready:

 

  1. Prioritise a Good Night’s Sleep
  • Aim for an early bedtime each night
  • Ensure your child gets plenty of rest so they feel refreshed and focused
  • Try to keep a consistent bedtime routine

 

  1. A Healthy Start to the Day
  • Provide a nutritious breakfast each morning
  • Children are welcome (and encouraged) to attend our Breakfast Club, which will be available during SATs week

 

  1. Positive Encouragement
  • Remind your child that these tests do not define them
  • Use positive affirmations, such as:
    • “Just try your best – that is enough”
    • “You have worked hard and you are ready”
  • Keep conversations calm and reassuring

 

  1. Be Prepared
  • Ensure your child arrives at school on time each day
  • Make sure they have had breakfast and are ready to begin promptly

 

  1. Manage Worries
  • Encourage your child to talk about any worries
  • Reassure them that feeling a little nervous is normal
  • Let them know that staff are here to support them every step of the way

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils. SATs week is simply an opportunity for them to show what they have learned. Our focus is on ensuring the children feel supported, confident, and positive.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you for your continued support.

Y6 SATs Breakfast Club

Dear Parents/Carers,

During SATs week, we will be running our free Year 6 SATs Breakfast Club each morning to help pupils start the day calmly and confidently.

If your child prefers familiar foods, we kindly suggest that they have breakfast at home beforehand so that they feel settled and ready for their assessments. They are still welcome to eat at Breakfast Club, but this will ensure they are already well‑fuelled for the morning.

Please return the permission slip by Wednesday 6th May 2026 so we can plan numbers and catering.

As part of our approach to SATs, and with everyone’s wellbeing at the forefront of our minds, we will be going on our Nature Walk on the afternoon of Wednesday 13th May during SATs week. This will give the children a chance to relax, reset and enjoy some time outdoors after their assessments that day.

If the weather is good, please ensure your child has sun cream and a sun hat.

Thank you for your support.

The Year 6 Team
