With the year 6 Sats last week, reports in the media revealed how stressed children were in the lead up to them.. And how tough the tests were.
Life, of course, is full of challenge. We can’t shield our children from that… After all, once they are in the job market, they’ll face stiff competition to get on in life. A dose of testing can help children prepare for the future..
However, a test or grade must never define a child’s worth… That’s why we were especially moved to read Willesborough Junior School’s letter sent to parents and pupils before the Sats exams. Isn’t it great?
We catch them when they fall
What matters most is that children feel supported through these challenges. That there are safety nets when life at school gets tricky…
As a popular tuition service across Manchester and Cheshire, our lovely tutors often work with children whose confidence is in tatters, or are struggling with a subject.
We love nothing more than restoring a child’s confidence, and seeing big smiles when they’ve cracked a challenge that stumped them before.
Though we can’t stop Sats or 11+ tests, GCSEs or higher exams, we can make life easier for you. With the security and trust of a personal tutor, you can build on your subject weaknesses and turn them into strengths.
If we can help, just give our tuition team a call at head office.
Remember … no one is perfect. And even if you don’t do as well as you expect in future exams, never never give up.
