Good luck to all the wonderful children in Year 6 who will be taking their SATs this week. Remember to stay calm and try your best –  it’s only a few tests and we know that you are so much more than a test score:

SO MUCH MORE

You, dear child are so much more

Than a number, percentage, a level or a score.

You’re a brilliant artist, painting a scene.

A wonderful poet describing a dream.

An author creating mystery and surprise

A rugby player scoring a hat trick of tries.

A chorister singing a beautiful song

A mathematician who is rarely wrong.

A sailor sailing away in a boat

A musician hitting the perfect note,

An amazing athlete winning the gold

A fearless adventurer so brave and so bold

The list is long and I could go on,

You really are a talented one.

Your tests are important, but be in no doubt,

they do not describe what you are about.

You see dear child, you are so much more,

Than a number, percentage, a level or a score.

Brian Banks

Good Luck Year 6!

From all the staff at St. Andrew’s.
