Use the summer to build confidence, not pressure.
SATs results can show useful gaps, but they are only one snapshot. The best next step is a calm summer plan that strengthens maths, reading and confidence before secondary school.
SATs are useful, but they do not define a child. Use them as a guide to decide which skills need gentle practice over summer.
Secondary school feels easier when children are confident with core maths, reading stamina, writing basics and independent study habits.

Week 1: rest, read and review the results calmly.
Weeks 2-3: practise the two weakest maths topics.
Weeks 4-5: add reading comprehension and writing prompts.
Final week: prepare routines for secondary school.
Secondary schools may use SATs results to understand starting levels, but they are not the whole picture. Confidence and steady practice matter too.
