Practice with answering Sats style questions. Children attending these will need to purchase the Sats practice question books which are part of the book bundles as we will be using these materials.

14 Lessons These will be planned as normal with opportunities to practice Sats style questions to provide the children with opportunities to practice answering questions. Help the children develop confidence. Intervention sessions Children who are assessed to be below the expected standard will be given additional lessons within school.
