KEY STAGE 2 SATs
Each summer term Year 6 children take statutory Standardised Assessment Tests (SATs).
These SATs are administered in accordance with strict guidelines and supplement other
teacher assessments to provide a nation wide evaluation of pupil progress and standards in
schools.
The end of Key Stage 2 tests, taken in Year 6 are not marked by our school staff, but by
external markers. Teacher assessments and SATs give a guide to school standards and a
guide to standards in English and Mathematics.
Naturally, results will vary from year to year due to variations in the relative strength of
each cohort of children being tested and changes in the actual tests. Annual pupil reports
show the levels of achievement for individual Year 6 children.
National Curriculum SATs
Our Year 6 children took the National Standard Attainment Tests (SATs) in May 2014. The
table below shows the percentage of pupils who attained each level. The school scores can
be compared to the national levels. Level 4 is recognised as the national average level of
attainment at the end of Key Stage 2
