Tutors for SATS?

I don't understand this. I thought SATS results were really just to check that the school's meeting expected standards? Why would you book private tuition for your child, to prepare for them?

Two families I know are doing this, but the two children involved are achieving way above average in Maths and English.

Am I missing a trick here? Thanks

Oh hello to u all. :)
Can anyone recommend a tutor to prepare for SATS?
Drayton or surrounded areas would be perfect 😊

3asabird’s first post demonstrates perfectly how overly invested we have become in our children’s education. I could feel the anxiety pouring from that post. This modern phenomenon of over tutoring stems from that kinds of anxious over investment, and a refusal to accept that most kids will simply be average.
