The primary school where my daughter is currently in Y4 are running revision classes on three days of this week. Two hours a day by invitation of the class teacher if she judges that a child will be helped by this. I commend the teacher for giving up holiday time for free and am delighted that she cares so much but I am still unconvinced that ten and eleven year old children should be in school working while on holiday. The local secondary places children in sets from September using end of KS 2 results so I suppose they need the best possible results but I still don't like the idea of the pressure being placed on them, even though I am myself a teacher.
Are other schools doing this? Are people sending their children to revision classes? Does it not all seem a bit much?

To wonder if holiday revision classes for Y6 are really a good idea?
