KS2 SATs

Whilst National Assessments have been suspended during the pandemic; we hope you will find the information below helpful. 

The 2021 data shows the impact of the disruption to children's learning and the school is addressing gaps through targeted teaching.

SATs Information

Statutory Assessment Tests take place in all Primary Schools during May and the results are published to parents and the public later in the year.

• End of Key Stage 2 (at age 11) in Year Six.

What should my child achieve?

• A “typical”  11 year old is expected to achieve age expectations within the National Curriculum standards.
• Some children will achieve below age expectations.
• While others will be working at greater depth within their age expectations
• A few may be working at a pre-keystage level.

How are children assessed?

There are two sorts of assessments:

• Teacher Assessments
• SATs tests

What does teacher assessment involve and how different is it from testing?

• Teacher assessments draw together everything the teachers know about a child, including their performance within daily lessons, ongoing observations, marked learning and school summative assessments.
• Teacher assessment is not a ‘snapshot’ like tests, and is therefore more reliable.
• Due to the above, there can be a difference between teacher assessment results and test levels.

Teacher assessments will be made in the following subject areas:

• English: Reading and Writing
• Maths 
• Science

When do KS2 tests happen?

• Generally in mid May
• It is a busy week!
• Please avoid taking your child out of school during this time, and in the weeks leading up to the tests.

What do tests involve?

There are two tests for English:

• Reading.
• Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (SPaG).
• The reading test has one paper, and the SPaG test has two papers.
