How we're preparing children

• Regular practice of test-style questions integrated into lessons
• Focused revision sessions in the spring term
• Teaching test techniques and time management
• Building confidence and resilience
• Maintaining a balanced, broad curriculum

Supporting your child at home

• Keep it positive - avoid adding pressure
• Maintain routines - ensure good sleep, healthy meals, and time to relax
• Encourage reading - this supports all areas of learning
• Practice times tables and mental maths - little and often works best
• Talk about learning - show interest in what they're doing at school
