SATs Week Is Coming — 13th to 16th May

10 May 2019
SATs Week Is Coming — 13th to 16th May

Next week, our year 6 pupils will sit their SATs between Monday and Thursday. Throughout the year, our teachers have been helping them to prepare for their SATs by developing their literacy and numeracy skills.

Although the tests will be used to determine the current learning level of each pupil, we want to reassure both parents and pupils that low scores are nothing to worry about.

We understand that tests can cause children to feel under pressure and become anxious, but we are making every effort to help them relax, feel at ease, and understand that the exams will not define them or their time at school.

Listed below are the dates and topics of the tests, as well as their duration:

Monday 13th May

  • SPaG Test: Grammar/Punctuation — 45 Minutes
  • SPaG Test: Spelling — 20 Minutes

Tuesday 14th May

  • Reading Test — 60 Minutes

Wednesday 15th May

  • Maths Paper 1: Arithmetic — 30 Minutes
  • Maths Paper 2: Reasoning — 40 Minutes

Thursday 16th May

  • Maths Paper 3: Reasoning — 40 Minutes

If you have any questions about the exams, or any concerns that you would like to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We wish all of our pupils the best of luck in their tests, and we are sure they will get the results that their hard work deserves.

THE SCHOOL IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Dear parents and carers,

Following the Government announcements, we've taken the decision to close the school until further notice. We appreciate this is a difficult time for everyone as we all make personal sacrifices for the greater good of the nation. Where possible, we've tried to contact parents and carers who registered as Key Workers, those with vulnerable children, or who collect Free School Meals. If we have not managed to contact you, here is some further information:

Children of Key Workers

If you need support with childcare because both parents of the child(ren) are critical key workers, then we will do our best to support you while you're on the frontline. This school is now closed, however, we have designated schools within the White Horse Federation that are still operating as hubs. We will organise childcare for your child(ren) at one of these locations. Please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

Children who are Vulnerable

The White Horse Federation has deemed vulnerable children to be those without adequate care or protection at home or with significant health needs. Given the current Government guidance at this point in time, we deem the safest place to be at the parent's or carer's home. If you believe this is not the case for your child(ren), then please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

Children who collect Free School Meals

We are making every effort to ensure children who collect Free School Meals have access to food. To that effect we will be supplying parents and carers of children who collect Free School Meals with vouchers to cover the cost of 20 days’ worth of lunches from Tuesday 24th March through to Monday 4th May. The vouchers are ordered and we are currently awaiting receipt of them before the end of the week. We have contact details of those who are registered as receiving Free School Meals and will contact you directly. If you're concerned that we don't have your details, then please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

We will endeavour to continue the learning for all our children despite these setbacks. You should know that the teaching staff at your school have worked tirelessly both day and night to manage this situation to the best of our ability. Our nation is triumphant against adversity, and we have every confidence we will return to our normal lives as soon as possible. Please take care of yourself and loved ones while we all work through this together.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Nicholas Capstick, OBE

CEO The White Horse Federation
