Key Stage 2 SATs week starts Monday 8th May 2017. 
 
It is vital that your child attends school every day next week. Tests will begin at 9am and therefore they need to be in school no later than 8:45am. In order to help them perform to the best of their abilities, we are inviting every child to have breakfast at school (Monday – Thursday).  We will be inviting the children to join breakfast club from 8:15am where we will serve a choice of cereals or toast and a glass of apple/orange juice or milk.  There will be no cost for the breakfast.
