15. 2016 SATs
In the summer term of 2016, children in Year 2 and Year 6 were the first to take the new SATs papers. These tests in English and Maths reflected the new National Curriculum.
There was also a completely new marking scheme to replace the existing national curriculum levels.

16. SATs Monday 14th May to Thursday 17th May 2018.
There are tests in Maths and English only. There are papers for Reading comprehension and spelling and grammar.
Writing this year is assessed by the class teacher. All children in year 6 across the country sit the same papers.
We work very hard to make sure that the children feel well prepared for these tests to avoid any undue anxiety and stress.
We hope that all children will feel confident entering the tests and know what to expect.
This means that we will be doing practice tests and past papers with the children and all the work we do in class, works towards thorough preparation for these tests..

17. Reading SAT
The reading test will be a single paper with questions based on three passages of text. Your child will have one hour, including reading time, to complete the test.
There will be a selection of question types, including:
Ranking/ordering, e.g. ‘Number the events below to show the order in which they happen in the story’
Labelling, e.g. ‘Label the text to show the title of the story’
Find and copy, e.g. ‘Find and copy one word that suggests what the weather is like in the story’
Short constructed response, e.g. ‘What does the bear eat?’
Open-ended response, e.g. ‘Look at the sentence that begins Once upon a time. How does the writer increase the tension throughout this paragraph? Explain fully, referring to the text in your answer.’

22. SPaG
The grammar, punctuation and spelling test will consist of two parts: a grammar and punctuation paper requiring short answers, lasting 45 minutes, and a spelling test of 20 words, lasting around 15 minutes.
The grammar and punctuation test will include two types of questions:
Selected response, e.g. ‘Identify the adjectives in the sentence below’
Constructed response, e.g. ‘Correct/complete/rewrite the sentence below,’ or, ‘The sentence below has an apostrophe missing. Explain why it needs an apostrophe.’

24. Writing
Genres - children will experience a variety of genres e.g. persuasive writing, adventure stories, report writing, poetry, newspaper articles, non - chronological reports.
