Shawclough Community Primary School

Welcome back to what we hope will be a fantastic 2013

Year Six Sat’s
Year Six SAT’s will be taken during the week commencing Monday 13 May 2013. The tests are to be taken on the set days and only on those days. Absent children will not be able to do the test later no matter what the reason for the absence. So all absent children give the school a zero score. Please can I ask that you don’t take your child on holiday or make appointments during the week commencing Monday,13 May 2013. Thank you for your support.
