We are extremely disappointed by the delay in the release of this year’s KS2 SATs results. Our pupils have worked incredibly hard, and our staff have dedicated significant time and effort to preparing, supporting, and encouraging them throughout the year. Families have also been waiting patiently to celebrate their children’s achievements.
This delay, which is due to a national issue outside the school’s control, has understandably caused frustration and uncertainty. It also impacts our ability to complete aspects of our end-of-year reporting and transition work as planned.
Despite this disappointment, our priority remains the wellbeing and success of every child. SATs are just one measure of attainment and do not define the many achievements, strengths, and progress our pupils have made during their time with us. We will share results with families as soon as they are made available to the school and thank our pupils, parents, and staff for their patience and understanding.
We remain immensely proud of all our Year 6 pupils and everything they have accomplished this year.
The Children’s Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel De Souza, launched her national survey, The Big Future and she wants to hear from children at OLSK!

'At a time of significant change for children and young people, it is more important than ever that their voices are heard. Through The Big Future, I can take the views of your students directly to government and ensure their priorities help inform the decisions that affect their lives.
I would be grateful if you could share the survey directly with pupils through your school or college communication channels, and with parents and carers across your wider school community.
It is vital that I hear from children and young people in every school, college and community across England. If students from your school do not participate, their experiences, views and aspirations will be absent from the national picture that will help shape future policy and decision-making.
Thank you for your support in helping ensure that every child’s voice has the chance to be heard.
Yours sincerely,
