SATs All Year 6 children will take end of Key Stage 2 tests during the week commencing 14th May 2018. They will take tests in reading, grammar, punctuation and spelling, arithmetic and reasoning. Whilst the tests are important, we try very hard to make the process as stress-free and relaxed as we can, at the same time making sure the children feel prepared.

We will be holding a meeting for parents on Wednesday 21st March to give more information about the tests.
