A little something that I found on the Internet…
Dear Year 6 Pupils
Next week you will sit your SATs tests for maths, reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation. We know how
hard you have worked, but there is something very important you must know.
The SATs test does not assess all of what makes each of you special and unique. The people who create
these tests and score them do not know each of you the way that we do and certainly not in the way your
families do.
They do not know that some of you speak two languages or that you love to sing or draw. They have not seen
your natural talent for dancing of playing a musical instrument. They do not know that your friends can count
on you to be there for them, that your laughter can brighten the darkest day or that your face turns red when
you feel shy. They do not know that you participate in sports, wonder about the future, or sometimes help your
little brother or sister after school. They do not know that you are kind, trustworthy and thoughtful and that
every day you try to be your very best.
The levels you will get from this test will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything. There are
many ways of being smart. You are smart! So while you are preparing for the test and in the midst of it all
remember that there is no way to 'test' all of the amazing and awesome things that make you, YOU!
