Friday 5th May
Dear Year Six,
Please remember, when you open your first test on Tuesday morning, a test is all it is. It will not define who you are, you are worth more and are better than that. You are a strong, resilient member of our community and people will think highly of you because of this and not because of how many questions you can answer. You can rest assured that because of the hard work you have put in you should feel confident with these tests. Please do not let them worry you. We measure your progress not just in test results, but in how you treat others, your attitude to learning and how you've developed into a confident individual over the year.
Many of you excel in art, sport, drama, singing and caring for others; these are just as important. Be proud of your many achievements, because we are. These assessments give a snapshot of where you are in your learning journey so far in English and Maths only. They do not show what makes you special to us, your friends and your family.
So this bank holiday weekend, no homework - just rest, relax and get a good nights sleep. Enjoy the coronation, spend time with your family, do something fun.
The Year Six Team
