This has been the most stressed cohort I’ve seen to date going into both SATS and GCSEs off the back of COVID.
These groups missed out on core foundational work on which to build all other learning on so the impact has had a huge ripple effect throughout their education.
Please remind your children that their SATS is a reflection on the education system more than themselves. To try their best but it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
GCSE students, please note it isn’t the end of the world if you struggle and do poorly. Yes GCSE maths, English and science matter BUT there are always other options and opportunities to retake them. Most leading entrepreneurs did not do well at school and were told they would make nothing of themselves and some have gone on to be some of the most successful people in the world.
Whatever happens in your tests and exams, you are worthy, you are loved and you ARE smarter than you will ever believe!
