3. What are SATs?
SATs (Standard Assessment Tests) are used to show your child’s progress and attainment;
Until 2015 children received levels: Level 4 was the national average for end of Key Stage 2 (Year 6). Level 5 was above average, whilst Level 3 was below average;
Levels have now been replaced by: Working Towards; Working At; Working At Greater Depth Within The Expected Standard.

4. Children will receive a raw score
Children will receive a raw score. This raw score will then be standardised.
A standardised score of 100 will be ‘Working at Age Related Expectations’ .

5. At the end of KS1, each child received a level for reading, writing and maths.
Based on these levels, the government will calculate an expected standardised score for each subject.
This standardised score will then be compared with the level the child achieved at the end of KS1 to measure progress across KS2.
The three levels have been averaged. This means some children have unexpected targets for some of their subjects based on prior attainment.

6. SATs results, together with teacher assessment, are used to inform your child’s secondary school about his/her attainment and progress so it is important that we focus on them;
SATs for Maths, Reading and English Punctuation, Grammar and Spelling (EGPS, previously called SPaG);
There are three maths papers: one Arithmetic paper and two Reasoning papers. Calculators are not allowed on any paper;
Writing is assessed against the Assessment Framework.
