Have just had a message from the school’s automated system:
Polite Request:
Please can youand/or tutorsnot use past SATs papers with your children as the school uses them for assessments.
Have just about had it now. DD is having tutoring but for 11+ not SATS. Loads of kids at the school are being tutored as school tends to teach toward the middle and is vocally anti 11+. Their SATS prep is fairly useless for anyone in the top set as well.
Surely if parents want to give their DC a bit of extra help the school should welcome it or at least stay out of it? I have older DC so have witnessed the useless and stressful SATS prep first hand, am really not surprised parents are supplementing especially as most secondaries here use the scores for setting.
