2. What are the SATs?
Standard Assessment Tests -  given at the end of KS1 (year 2) and KS2 (year 6)
Key Stage 2 SATs take place in May and are far more formal than Key Stage 1, hence they seem much more stressful!
The tests which are taken in year 6 cover English and Maths.
The papers are sent away to be marked with results being available before your child leaves primary school in July.
