So DD is in year 6....first term not too bad, lots of topic work, fab PE lessons with an Olympic standard athelete coming in regularly, mock SATS each half term....
So far this term...no art, music or drama and half an hour a week PE in order to make room for daily spelling, puncutation and grammer revision. No new concepts in numeracy or literacy, but lots of revision. Weekly mental maths tests. Mock SATS last week.
After half term - no topic work at all, just SATS revision.....plus the school now wants parents to buy their approved SATS revision workbooks....
When asked, the teachers could not say how the SATS would benefit the children....
Is it me or is this mad?

SATS overkill - anyone else fed-up?
