When and how are the SATs carried out? When and how are the SATs carried out? • The tests will take place during normal school hours, under exam conditions. • Children are not allowed to talk to each other from the moment the assessments are handed out until they are collected after the test has ended. • Afterwards, the completed papers are sent away to be marked externally. • The children’s results are sent back to school at some point in July.
Specific arrangements for SATs: Children with additional needs, who have similar provision in their day-to-day learning at school, may be allotted specific arrangements, including: • Additional (extra) time; • Tests being opened early to be modified; • An adult to read for them; • An adult to scribe (write) for them; • Written or spoken translations of the mathematics reasoning papers; • The use of prompts or rest breaks; • Arrangements for children who are ill or injured at the time of the tests. *Pupils with an EHC plan are automatically allowed up to 25% additional time (except for the spelling paper, which is not strictly timed). Pupils who use the modified large print or braille versions of the tests are automatically allowed up to 100% additional time
What sort of results are reported? Once marked, the tests will be given the following scores: o A raw score (the total number of marks achieved for each paper); o A scaled score (which is explained below); o A judgement of whether the National Standard has been met. After marking each test, the external markers will convert each raw score into a scaled score to show whether each child is working below, at or above the national standard. When the scaled score is given, it is given in a range from 80 to 120. A scaled score of 100 or more is meeting the national standard. There are no separate tests for higher achieving pupils; however, a scaled score close to 120 would show that a child is working above the national standard.

READING PAPER (60 MINS) 3 TEXTS WHICH GET PROGRESSIVELY HARDER You can help your child by: • Ensuring they read every day (aim for at least 20 mins) • Checking that they are reading a variety of texts/genres/authors • Check that the books they read are appropriately challenging • Reading with your child • Asking your child about the books they read • Talking to them about the books you are reading.

What should I do if I’m worried SATs should not: about my child? • affect a child’s appetite; • affect a child’s ability to sleep; • alter a child’s personality; • induce panic, tears or disengagement from lessons; • be a reason not to attend school. We will equip your child to cope with SATs and be stronger for it. Remember, SATs are just a snapshot of where your child is in certain areas of their development and they do not tell the whole story of who they are!
There are no SATs for Writing. This is assessed using teacher judgement, and evidenced through the learning and writing in books. The teacher assesses the child based on their knowledge of how the pupil has performed over time in a range of contexts.
