School starts tomorrow. 💙

If your child is starting Year 5 or Year 6, you might already be thinking about SATs…

Or perhaps even 11+.

But here’s what I’d say as a teacher:

Don’t panic. Don’t start with endless practice papers.

I’d start with the foundations:
Can they understand grammar?
Can they recognise how sentences work?
Can they explain punctuation?
Can they apply what they know in context?
Can they read deeply and understand what they’ve read?

Because knowing a rule isn’t enough.

Children need to understand it, recognise it and use it.

That’s the foundation I’ll be talking about throughout September.

🌱 Build the English. Then build the score.

If you’re a Year 5 or Year 6 parent, save this post.We are going to build this together.

If you know a Year 5 or Year 6 parent who needs to see this, send it to them.

September is just around the corner, and Year 6 SATs are closer than most parents realise.

Swipe through to see exactly what each test actually asks of a child, and why the families who start early are the ones who see it pay off. Past groups have moved from working towards to greater depth in a single term, not through cramming, but through consistent, structured practice.

Cramming doesn’t build confidence. Time does.

Most parents don’t realise this is happening.

“They’re fine.”
“They’ll catch up.”
“They just need more confidence.”

But in reality…

They’re coping, not confident.
Avoiding, not improving.
Quietly falling behind, while looking like they’re keeping up.

And they won’t always tell you.

That’s why early support matters.

Not to push ahead
but to make things finally feel secure.

Because when it clicks, you see it instantly:
more confidence
less hesitation
a child who actually enjoys learning again

If something feels off, it usually is.
