AT THE END OF YEAR 6, CHILDREN TAKE THE STANDARD ASSESSMENT TESTS (SATS) FOR ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS.

The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.

What are SATs for?

Key Stage 2 (Year 6) SATs are compulsory, and are predominantly used as a way for both parents and teachers to learn more about their child’s academic strengths and areas to work on. They give teachers the chance to see how children are doing in comparison to their peers not only within the same school, but also nationally.

At Bond Primary School, we must stress, children are not only assessed on their academic progress through SATs. Teachers regularly assess the children through live marking, moderation and by talking to the children over time.

What is a scaled score?

Each child is given a scaled score as a number. This is based on their raw score – the number of marks they receive in a test.

Children may achieve a scaled score of:

• Below 100, meaning they have not met the ‘expected standard’
• 100, meaning they have reached the ‘expected standard’
• Above 100, meaning they have exceeded the ‘expected standard’

For children in year 6 taking the KS2 tests, scores range from 80 to 120.

A child who reaches the expected standard (100 or above) is considered to be ready for the next stage of their education.
