This resource will provide many opportunities for work in the foundation subjects and in Eng S&L, as the focus for Y6 pupils in particular is so heavily on the core subjects in the weeks preceding the SATs. Below is a framework which gives an overview of the material to be covered during the course of the week. This can be shown to a senior management team, should you wish to check with them about freeing up five mornings or five afternoons for this work.
