To the Wonderful Year 6 Pupils at Pennine Way, As you prepare for your upcoming SATs, I want to remind you of something truly important: these tests offer only a glimpse, not a complete picture, of the remarkable individuals you are. The people who will mark your papers don't have the privilege of knowing you as we do here at Pennine Way, and certainly not with the deep understanding your families hold. They won't see the extraordinary talents some of you possess – the impressive ability to speak multiple languages, the captivating artistry in your drawings, amazing imaginations, or even the simple joy you find in collecting stickers! They remain unaware of the musical instruments you master, the dedication you show in sports, what a kind person you are, your great sense of humour, and the courage you display in competitions. These tests cannot measure the depth of your hopes, the brilliance of your dreams, or the strength of your aspirations for the future. They won't reveal the caring and thoughtful nature that defines you, or the incredible resilience you've demonstrated over the past few years. Despite the challenges you've faced, you consistently persevere, always striving to do your best – something that makes us immensely proud. Remember, the results you receive will offer some information, but they will not tell the whole story of who you are. Success can be seen in many forms, and there are countless paths to achieving it. So, as you prepare, please keep in mind that there's no single way to truly "assess" all the wonderful qualities that make each of you unique. Make sure you are rested, allow yourselves to recharge, and above all, believe in yourselves. You are all truly fantastic! Kind Regards, Mr Agnew                   Ms Foster                  Mr Miles                     Mrs Stuart                   Mrs Butcher                Mr Gibbons                 Mrs Salkeld
