What is involved?
SATs Preparation Courses include a minimum of one hour session once a week for 10 weeks in the build up to SATs. Some schools opt for the final session of the course to fall during SATs week to further calm their children. Each session combines yoga inspired movements to calm the body, with breathing, relaxation, visualisation and meditation techniques to help children feel calm and focussed.
The techniques taught to children will also help them in later life, as they will be able to remember and use the techniques to deal with future stress and anxious periods, including the transition to Junior/Secondary school.
