This is then converted into a ‘scaled score’. The tests Monday: GPS-45 mins out of 50, spelling out of 20 Tuesday: Reading paper 1hour out of 50 Weds: Maths Paper 1-30mins arithmetic out of 40 Reasoning Paper 2 – 45 mins, 35marks Thursday-Reasoning Paper 3-45mins, out of 35. Each child will have achieved a ‘raw’ score for maths, reading and GPS (also known as SPaG) based on the number of questions they answered correctly. This is then converted into a ‘scaled score’.

What is a ‘scaled score’? Each child will have achieved a ‘raw’ score for maths, reading and GPS (also known as SPaG) based on the number of questions they answered correctly. This is then converted into a ‘scaled score’.

What does this mean for each child? If a child has achieved a score of 100, he/she is working roughly at the expected national standard for a Y6 pupil. Using the scaled score, the lowest a child can score is 80, with the highest being 120. If a child’s score is close to 120, he/she is working beyond (or above) the expected national standard. If a child’s score is closer to 80, he/she is working below the expected standard.

Are this year’s SATs any different to 2017 and 2018? We can compare this year’s tests to last two years – but due to the huge changes in the National Curriculum since 2014 the 2016 ones were the first test results that really relate to the ‘new’ curriculum. Nationally this year, expectations have been kept in line with last years tests.

What are the national trends? For 2017, the average scaled scores for each subject are as follows:- Reading – 104, Maths – 104, GPS – 106 When looking at how many children have succeeded in reaching the expected standards for reading, writing, GPS and maths, the results are: National average for reading – 72% National average for GPS – 77% National average for maths – 75% National average for writing (teacher-assessed) - 76%

What are the national trends? 60-70% of pupils reached the new expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics combined. Some children may have achieved the new expected standard in maths, but not reading and writing, and vice-versa. It is very possible that some of the children in this 60% will be in the same schools.

Is there an appeal? I can apply for marking reviews and, if it affects a scaled score by moving it over a threshold, there is no charge. Help and support at home- x tables! Reading, spellings and homework! On the run up to and during Sats week: Plenty of chill time- sleep – playing out- food!

More Information GOV.UK site Scaled scores will be passed onto you and your child/children in July 2019 along with their end of year report!
