Year 6 SATs Revision

Sats (Standard Assessment Tests) measure children’s educational achievement in years 2 and 6, with the ultimate aim of holding schools to account for the attainment of their pupils and the progress they make.

Key Stage 2 Sats take place in the May of year 6 (age 11) and are more formal tests in English (grammar, punctuation, spelling and reading) and maths. Each paper is around 45 minutes long. Each paper is marked externally and results are given to schools around the beginning of July. The mark scheme is that scores are given on a scale of 80 to 120 – with a score of 100 or more meaning a pupil is meeting the expected governmental standard (but this equates to different marks for each paper). Writing is assessed by the teacher and marked in the same way as in if the child has met expected standard.

At Saint Joseph’s we will be working towards the assessments by tailoring our Maths and English lessons to the needs of the children; revising key areas that previous assessments have shown to be an area of improvement and homework changed to suit revision purposes. We will also give interventions and booster sessions to children who need a small group environment to secure knowledge. Our aim is to give the children everything possible so when it comes to sitting the assessments they are well prepared and ready.

The scores are reported to you the parents / carers in the end of year report and to the child’s secondary school as well. With this in mind, we want to help the children reach their potential in these assessments so they start off the next part of their education journey correctly.

We also know that Sats do not show the whole child and we will do everything we can to not allow these tests to detract from that.
