5. Teacher Assessment
If children do not perform to best ability in the test, teacher assessment will be used.
Children will not know that they are taking SATs, done as subtly as possible.

The mark falls into one of these categories:
Below the expected standard
Achieving the expected standard
Exceeded the expected standard

7. The Results Results are reported to the LA.
An overall result will be made available with yearly reports whether your child is working below, at or above ARE.

8. What can you do to help?
Read together every day and ask questions about the story
Use number problems in every day life, at the shops, on the bus, telling the time etc.
Continue to work on targets discussed at parents evening.
Ensure your children have a healthy sleep pattern and a good breakfast every day so they can take on the information they need.

9. What can you do to help?
Explicit revision is not necessary [teacher assessment].
Children already familiar with question format through subtle teaching.
