It has been revealed that 1/6 of students in Year 6 are not achieving the target of 2 national curriculum levels higher than their Year 2 SATS results in both Maths and English. This is resulting in these students struggling greatly when they make their transistion to Secondary schools.
These basic reading, writing and numeracy skills need to be targeted at an early age, so that once these foundations have been understood, students can expand on these skills (hopefully by at least 2 national curriculum levels) by the time they leave Primary school.
To ensure an easy transition to Secondary school, try to make sure that your child understands the basics required for Year 6 pupils. If they are struggling, why not sign them up to our after-school or Saturday classes for more help?
