We are now over halfway through the SATs, and we could not be prouder of our wonderful Year 6 children. Their focus, resilience, and determination have shone through. They are approaching each day with maturity, positivity, and pride in their efforts and they are rightly proud of themselves too.

On Friday, we shared a special poem with them: “Rowner – Ready to Shine!”. It celebrates their growth, values, and strengths beyond any test. They are living every word of it.

Rowner – Ready to Shine!

At King’s Academy Rowner, we’ve seen you grow,
With strength and ambition that continues to show.
You’ve shown true grit and worked with might,
Facing each challenge with purpose and light.

Through every subject, every new stage,
You’ve built your path with wisdom and age.
From sport to the arts, from drama to song,
You’ve carried your learning with pride all along.

You’ve lived our values – honesty, faith, and courage – so clear,
In every endeavour throughout this year.
We’ve watched you succeed, give your very best,
Ready to rise to each SATs test.

SATs don’t measure your flair for the stage,
Your artwork, your spirit, your wisdom for age.
They don’t see the teamwork you show every day,
Or the values you live in a Rowner way.

So, as you sit down, pencil in hand,
Know that you’re ready – strong, bold, and grand.
With opportunities and success on a global stage,
You’re ready to shine on your next life page.

We are proud – beyond what words can say,
Of all you’ve achieved in every way.
So remember your skills, all you’ve learned with care,
And know that you’ve got this – you’re fully prepared.
