Please ensure your child comes to school dressed in a suitable PE kit on these days.  The children will be outside in all weathers. Long hair must be tied up and earrings to be taped or removed, along with removing any jewellery or watches. If earrings are removed, please ensure that your child has a small pot or safe place to keep them in.

On Tuesday afternoons, I am out of the classroom for Planning, Preparation and Administration time. During this time the learning will be PE and RE or Spanish.
 

SATs

The spring term is the time in year 6 when we start to prepare for the May SATs. SATs will take place between Monday 11th May 2026 – Thursday 14th May 2026 so please avoid booking any time off school during this week and in the case of illness, children are still able to sit SATs up to one week after the official SATs week. We are beginning to look at techniques and strategy in answering some of the questions – but this is being done so with a positive and upbeat attitude so we are boosting confidence and the children are responding really well to this. We are doing a little and often approach so the heart of teaching and learning remains much the same.
