KS1 SATs
In year 2, pupils will be sitting their KS1 SATs tests. There are 5 test papers:
• Reading x 2
• English grammar, punctuation and spelling
• Maths arithmetic
• Maths reasoning
The SATs will take place in May. More information about this will be shared with you throughout the year as well as ways in which you can support your child to achieve their best in year 2 and prepare them for KS2.
Children will be given a standardised score from the test, however this will be used alongside teacher assessment of the children’s work throughout the year. Together this will build up a picture of your child’s learning and achievements. At the end of the year, your child will receive an overall result:
• Working below key stage
• Working towards expected
• Working at expected
• Working above expected
Please use this very helpful website for parents below for more information about the SATs, previous SATs papers and ways in which you can support your child at home.
