What are the SATs? SATs stands for Standard Assessment Tests. These are tests which are taken by pupils all over the country. They are taken in Year 2 (KS1) and in Year 6 (KS2) . The KS1 tests are designed to assess pupils who are working at the year 2 expected standard in the national curriculum.

Teacher Assessment and Testing The snapshot and the video! Testing can happen throughout May and class teachers choose when to carry out the tests within this time scale Teacher assessment is on going until almost the end of June. Teacher assessment of Reading, Writing, Maths and Science Tests for Reading and Maths and there is an optional Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling test

What does the ‘expected standard’ mean? An average year 2 child is expected to achieve at the expected standard in each area. A child with additional needs or at the early stages of learning English may be awarded a p-scale level or one of the standards below the expected standard. A child may also attain at ‘greater depth’ in teacher assessment showing that their work meets some further higher standards.

Writing at the expected standard The pupil can write a narrative about their own and others’ experiences (real and fictional) demarcating most sentences with capital letters and full stops and some question marks and exclamation marks using sentences with different forms in their writing (statements, questions, exclamations and commands) using some expanded noun phrases to describe and specify using present and past tense mostly correctly and consistently

using co-ordination (or / and / but) and some subordination (when / if / that / because) segmenting spoken words into phonemes and spelling many correctly spelling many common exception words and some words with contracted forms adding suffixes e.g. –ment, –ness, –ful, –less, –ly using the diagonal and horizontal strokes needed to join letters in some of their writing writing capital letters and digits of the correct size, orientation and relationship to one another and to lower case letters

Test Preparation High quality teaching and learning Children do not do, and do not need to do, practice papers

How are the tests carried out? We never say to the children that they are doing a test. This helps children to remain relaxed and positive. We aim at all times to carry out tests and tasks as part of normal classroom practice. Some children may work in a small group with another teacher or a learning support assistant if they need a more supportive environment.

Reading Children complete 1 or 2 tests to assess their reading level. The teacher decides whether the child completes the second test based on how well they do in the first test Generally children who are working at or above average complete both tests. The tests are not timed so children can work at their own pace.

Mathematics Children complete an arithmetic and a reasoning Maths test. These are not timed so children work at their own pace. They may have help with reading any or all of the questions.

Science Science is not tested. Teachers use on going teacher assessment to evidence which standard to allocate to each child.

What happens to the results? The results of all tests are used to support teacher assessments. The final teacher assessment levels are reported to the local authority at the beginning of June. The authority then collects this data together and returns an individual record sheet for each child. Wherever possible we try to include these with the end of year report but we are reliant on the authority returning the record sheets to us in time.

How does the school use the results? The school uses the results to inform future planning. Results are used to inform teachers in year three about the attainment of the children in their class so that appropriate challenge can be built in for all children. The results from year 2 set an expectation for progress and attainment in years 3 to 6.

What can parents do to help? A partnership of school and home is vital and powerful. Keep reading and talking with your child at home. Do not talk about testing or tests with your child. It is our aim to complete the process in a stress free way for all pupils. Parents can ensure a child’s attendance is consistent. ‘Every lesson counts’ is a Government slogan which we support. We do not have time to repeat lessons if someone is away. Make sure your child is ready to learn. Tired children cannot learn effectively.
