Y6 SATS Information
- Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar
- Reading
- Writing
- Maths
The SATs determine wheter pupils have gained and embedded the statutory learning within the KS2 curriculum in preparation for secondary school. The children's targets for GCSE at secondary are set from these KS2 assessments. The SATs tests themselves are a 'right of passage' for our year 6 pupils, and the week is an exciting one, where the pupils feel particulalry grown up! It is a good preparation for later life; the first time they experience a conditioned assessment and build towards a performance. Our pupils have enjoyed the experience over the last few years, despite the hard work!
At the start of year 6 we hold a SATs parents meeting, at which teachers share more information about the tests, how we prepare children for them, expectations of the children and how you can help at home. This meeting is are a great opportunity for you to look at some past SAT papers as well as ask any questions you may have about them.

Support
There are a range of ways in which pupils can be supported through the assessments, from developing confidence to bespoke access arrangements for qualified pupils, such as extra time or enlarged script.
As we approach the test week, pupils will be allocated the relevant support appropriate for their need. Should you wish to discuss any particualr need of concern, please speak with your class teacher who will be happy to help. All strategies available will be discussed within the parents' meeting.
Holidays during SATs week
We do ask that parent's do no take their children on holiday during SATs week. Please speak with us if you have an unavoidable absence or feel attendance may be a challenge this week.
