SATs

SATs are national tests that children take in Year 6. These standardised tests are actually known as End of Key Stage Tests and Assessments, but most people know them as SATs (Standard Assessment Tests). SATs are an indicator of the progress your child has made at school so far. They are not a measure of whether your child is passing or failing; they simply show what level your child is currently working towards.

Pupils sit their SATs at KS2 level in Year 6. These tests have set exam days as well as external marking in the majority of schools. Children will take exams in English reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, spelling, mathematical reasoning, and arithmetic.

Once the KS2 SATs are complete, they will be sent away for external marking and children should receive their results towards the end of the summer term in July of Year 6. You will receive a report stating your child’s: 

• Raw score – simply, the actual number of marks they received in their SATs
• Scaled score – a conversion score that allows results to be compared year-on-year
• Expected standard – whether or not they have achieved the national standard

Year 6 SATs will take place during the week starting May 13th 2024

We will publish our SATs data below once our first year 6 cohort has completed them.
