Teachers will also make an assessment of children’s end of KS2 achievement using the Statutory Teacher Assessment Frameworks for writing & science (see examples for writing)
Changes for 2019 – previously, teacher assessments were submitted for reading, writing, maths and science

One hour booster session for each subject (Maths and English) once a week in school
Sessions include:
Completing past papers
Focus questions e.g. particular type such as ‘explain questions’ in maths
Revision of topic areas
Time to work on questions for a particular topic or focus
Homework will be set after each session

5. Booster session homework
Children will need to be organised
Teacher will give the children folders to keep all their work in (one for each subject)
SATs questions involve lots of paper – quantity of paper does not mean quantity of questions e.g. 10 maths Q may be 10 sheets of paper
It is best to spread the homework over the week and not leave it all until the night before

Maths question book
English study book
English reading books – fiction, non-fiction and poetry

Bring question books once a week so teachers can check how children are getting on
Parents please do help children with homework and revision book questions
Ask children to teach you how to do it – this is the best way to check their understanding
