As part of your child’s journey at Bursar Primary Academy, we want to keep you informed about the upcoming SATs tests for 2027. These tests are an important part of your child’s Year 6 assessment and help us understand their progress in key areas of the curriculum. In addition, they provide assessment insight for your child's secondary school.

How can I support my child?
We understand that the lead-up to SATs can feel a little overwhelming, but rest assured, we’ll provide plenty of support. Here are a few ways you can help at home:

• Encourage regular reading and discussions to improve comprehension skills.
• Practice key maths skills, such as times tables and mental arithmetic.
• Make sure your child gets plenty of rest and stays hydrated as they approach the test dates.

We will also hold parent workshops and provide resources to guide you and your child through this period.

Remember: SATs are just one part of your child’s learning journey. We focus on supporting them as individuals, fostering a love of learning, and helping them to develop their best potential.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continued support!
