KS2 SATs Information & helping at home

The statutory key stage 2 tests are timetabled from Monday 10th May 2027. In Year 6, we are often asked how to support children at home to prepare for SATs. Helpful websites and the statutory spelling lists can found here. 

Please also read the information leaflet from the Government here

In particular, this is a good site for helping with Maths at home - White Rose Maths - as it aligns with the methods taught in school so it will be familiar to your child. 

 

End of the School Day

If you give your Year 5/6 child to leave school unaccompanied at the end of the day, please ensure that you have completed the consent form.

ParentPay

If you have not yet set up a ParentPay account, please make sure that you do so. All of our ticketed events (eg Leavers' assembly) will be distributed using this system and all payments & consents for trips will be made using ParentPay.  Without a ParentPay account, you will not be able to do any of these things. If you have lost the letter that we sent out, please speak to the office.
