New KS2 SATS assessments
Children in Year 6 in September 2016 and beyond will need to be prepared for the new style KS2 SATs in 2016. Here’s what you need to know about what the tests involve.
During week beginning 8th May in the Summer Term 2017, children at the end of Key Stage 2 will sit SATs papers.
At the end of Year 6, children will take SATs in:
• Reading (Fiction, non-fiction and poetry)
• English grammar, punctuation and spelling (separate spelling test)
• Maths (1 x Arithmetic and 2 x Reasoning)
The new-style KS2 SATs are due to be administered in May 2016.
Tests are set externally, and will be marked by external examiners. Instead of the old national curriculum levels, children will be given a standardised score. In addition, your child will receive an overall result saying whether they have achieved the required standard in the tests.
