We are doing some SAT practice books, more because I really want DS to show his capabilities after the disasterous KT. The school he has been allocated don't take any notice of them as they have already done entrance tests to put the children in what they consider to be the most appropriate groups, so we could have just not bothered.
I would say if your DD is competitive do some practice, if you feel it is not important though don't worry about it

Teachers will refuse to hand out Sats papers
By Richard Garner
Wednesday, 24 March 2010
Heads and teachers are planning a campaign of industrial action to stop national curriculum tests for 600,000 11-year-olds.
The National Union of Teachers and National Association of Head Teachers will refuse to deliver the tests in maths and English. Their action, scheduled to start on 10 May, is expected to lead to widespread cancellations. The two unions represent 85 per cent of heads in the 16,000 schools where children will sit the tests.

Our Head asked for opinions from parents regarding the SATS, I think they are going ahead though and I am also led to believe that the school my DD is going to streams according to the results. Does my DD care about this? No - should I be asking her to practise? Should I leave it so the school gets a true picture of her work ethic ( not ability as I know she has that)?
It's at a time like this that one realises that the 11+ is only the beginning.
