KS2 SATs

SATs information for Year 6 2018

 

In the summer term of 2016, children in Year 2 and Year 6 were the first to take the new SATs papers. The new-style SATs for English and maths reflect the new national curriculum, and are more rigorous than previous years' tests.

 

There is also a completely new SATs marking scheme and grading system which has replaced national curriculum levels.

 

At the end of Year 6, children sit tests in:

  • Reading
  • Maths
  • Spelling, punctuation and grammar

 

These tests are both set and marked externally, and the results are used to measure the school’s performance (for example, through reporting to Ofsted and published league tables). Your child’s marks will be used in conjunction with teacher assessment to give a broader picture of their attainment.

 

KS2 children do not sit a test for writing. They are assessed through Teacher Assessment throughout the year.
