3. What are SATs?
A series of tasks used to inform a teacher assessment of what your child has learned.
Each child will be judged at either “at” the expected standard for the end of KEy Stage 1, working towards it or exceeding it.
In Key Stage 1 the greatest emphasis is placed on gathering evidence of what children can do rather than the test.

4. Results: You CANNOT fail SATs
It is expected that the “average” Year 2 child be working ‘at’ within age related expectations by the end of the year.

10. Mathematics Tests
Paper 1 is an arithmetic paper which lasts about 30 minutes.
Papers 2 is a reasoning paper, which lasts about 40 minutes.
The children’s marks are combined and that score is then used to work out what standard they are at.
They are not allowed to use any physical resources in the tests.

11. Scoring and reporting
The scores will be converted to a ‘scaled score’.
We currently know that 100 on the scaled score will be the number that demonstrates that children have reached age related standards.

12. Top Tips
Rather than worrying about the tests, reinforce that doing your best and trying hard in lessons is the best way to do well.
Don’t put too much pressure on them.
Practising reading is the best revision you can do.
