SATs Booster 2025
As a new calendar year begins, we will now be focusing more intently on the upcoming SATs in May. With this in mind, we will offer SATs booster classes for every child in Year 6 on a Monday and Tuesday after school, starting on Monday 27th January and Tuesday 28th January from 3.30pm – 4.30pm.
Each Monday we will concentrate on Literacy, with a focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar. Each Tuesday we will concentrate on Maths. These sessions will be in groups based on attainment levels in each subject, and all will be led by a member of St James staff.
Children can bring a healthy snack and drink that they can have straight after school, before the session begins.
