Tips on how you can help your child prepare

• The biggest single influence on your child’s SAT’s marks will be their reading ability. Good readers can read questions quickly, and understand what they need to do. Continue to encourage your child to read every day, looking at both stories and non-fiction. 

•To help your child prepare for SATs use CGP books and websites listed

below. Your child has also taken part in and brought home practice papers and questions as part of their homework preparation for the SATs.

YEAR SIX

We aim to ensure children leave Year 6 with a firm grasp of literacy and numeracy in order to achieve the best possible results.
We want children to enjoy their learning and to develop a love of learning and a desire to know more. We firmly believe children learn best when they discover for themselves thus affording them ample opportunities to research current topics taught at school.

Year 6 is a really important and exciting year for the children. They face lots of challenges which include the SATs and the prospect of leaving Northbury Junior and transferring to secondary school. However there are also lots of exciting events  to look forward to, including the Year 6 Leaver’s Assembly and the educational visits. We expect the children to act as role models as they are now the eldest in the school and some are invited to carry out roles of responsibility such as being lunch time monitors, register monitors, playground squad members and gardening club.
