Key Stage 2 SATS

The new national curriculum was assessed for the first time in May 2016.

This year's key stage 2 tests are timetabled as follows

Date Monday 14 May Tuesday 15 May Wednesday 16 May Thursday 17 May

Activity English grammar, punctuation and spelling papers 1 and 2 English reading Mathematics papers 1 and 2 Mathematics paper 3

Where will the tests be taken?

During SATs Week, Year 6 students are welcome to have breakfast (in the Food/ Technology room) from 8.10am onwards, this has proved to be a great opportunity to chat with staff and other students...and promote a state of general wellbeing!

All Year 6 students will gather in the hall for registration at 8.30am. Please ensure students are in school promptly as lateness is very likely to raise your child's anxiety.

Following registration, students will be sent to one of three classrooms ready to complete tests at 9.15 am. Equipment (pencils, black biro, rubbers and rulers) will be required and personal belongings can be left in lockers. A normal timetable will resume once tests have been administered for the day!

Explaining the Changes

A new set of tests were introduced in May 2016 to replace the existing ones.

There are no level 6 tests: all students will take just one set of tests. The tests will include a small number of questions to stretch the most able students.

Explaining the Changes

Scaled Scores ? All test outcomes at both KS1 and KS2 will be reported

as scaled scores. ? The national standard will be 100. ? Raw scores (the number of marks awarded for each

subject) will be translated to scaled scores (a comparable score for each subject) using a conversion table. ? Students will receive a raw score, a scaled score and confirmation of attainment of the national standard. ? The government have said that the "national standard" will be roughly equivalent to an old level 4b.
