KEY POINTS
The ‘new’ curriculum is more challenging
and has an increased focus on developing
children’s subject knowledge and skills.
The new National Curriculum does not have
levels of attainment, but instead has
‘expectations’ children are required to
meet in each subject
(EXPECTED STANDARD).

WRITING 2019
There is a greater focus on the progress children
make throughout the school year across a range of
subjects rather than a test.
• Teachers will assess children’s writing composition.
Children’s results for writing will be a judgement of their
work throughout Year 6.
• Children's grammar, punctuation and spelling skills will be
assessed as part of their writing, but their creativity and
writing style will also be evaluated.
• Across all areas of the curriculum.Work is assessed against a list of criteria.
These include spelling and handwriting.
Children are expected to be able to write
using a range of different genres.SCIENCE 2019
There are now no science SATs tests.
Teachers assess children’s knowledge and understanding of
science and judge their scientific skills according to the
National Curriculum Interim Framework for Science. These
assessments are based on the verbal answers given and
written work produced in lessons.
Children’s results for science will be a judgement of their
work throughout KS2.
SCIENCE SAMPLING
Every two years – not this year!SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS & DISABILITIES
Some support can be given to children who
have a Statement, or Educational Health
Care Plan.
Requests for additional time will be made
by teachers using their knowledge of
children and the children’s individual
needs.
Children who are unable to sit and work
for a long period because of a disability or
because of behavioural, emotional or social
difficulties may receive some support.
Children with English as an additional
language and who have limited fluency in
English may receive some support.WHEN ARE THE TESTS?

Absence during the test period - Pupils who miss one or more components of a test and
do not qualify for a timetable variation will not be awarded a score for that test.SATS RESULTS Each pupil registered for the tests will receive: • a raw score (number of actual marks achieved) • a scaled score • confirmation of whether or not they attained the expected national standard • award of ‘Greater Depth’ for high achievers
NO MORE LEVELS!
Children develop at different times and in individual ways, but at the end
of Year 6 the DfE guidelines for English and maths are as follows:-
Children not meeting the WORKING TOWARDS ‘Nationally Expected
Standard’ category for a pupil at the end of Year 6
WORKING TOWARDS the ‘Nationally Expected Standard’ for a pupil at
the end of Year 6
WORKING AT the ‘Nationally Expected Standard’ for a pupil at the end of
Year 6
WORKING AT GREATER DEPTH within the ‘Nationally Expected
Standard’ for a pupil at the end of Year 6
For Science pupils will be grouped into 2 categories - Working at the expected
standard, or a category for those pupils who do not meet the standard.
REMEMBER – ALL CHILDREN ARE DIFFERENT!SCALED SCORES
• Raw scores in the test will be converted to scaled
scores.
• The ‘expected standard’ will always be set at 100.
Pupils who score 100 or more will have met the
‘expected standard’.
100
• Pupils who score below 100 will not have met the
‘expected standard’.
• The ‘raw score’ that equates to 100 can be
different each year.SUBJECT THRESHOLDS
