5. Is everything in year 6 all about SATs?
No. but it is mentioned a lot! We have 3 “mock sats” during the year , the final one even includes a breakfast club! We also discuss test techniques throughout the year! By the time the “real” sats come around- the children wonder what all the fuss is about
