3. What are SATs?
Year 2 children are assessed in; -Reading -Writing -Mathematics
-Science
In Year 2 the emphasis is on teacher assessment; the tests support this judgement.

4. How we assess children
Teachers must use their knowledge of a pupil’s work over time, taking into account their:
written, practical and oral classwork
results of the statutory KS1 tests in reading and mathematics
If children do not perform to best ability in test, teacher assessment can be used.
We do not want children to worry, therefore we keep the tests as relaxed and low key as possible.
