Year 6 SATs Tests 2019 13th to 16th May
What are
SATs?
The national
curriculum tests
(often referred to as
SATs) are designed to
assess pupils’
knowledge and
understanding of
specific elements of
the key stage 2
programmes of study.
Schools must
administer the tests
in May each year,
according to a
statutory timetable.
Why do we have them?
✓ Provides you with information about
where your child is (academically).
✓ Gives you a comparison to see how much
they have progressed throughout their
time at Acklam Whin Primary School.
✓ Informs secondary schools of academic
ability.
✓ Provides a method for holding schools
accountable
Achievement
Most children are
expected to achieve a
scale of 100-national
standard
Some children may
achieve a scale score
of below 100.This does
not mean they have
‘failed’. For some
children this will be a
tremendous
achievement.
Some children will
score above the scale
of 100-exceeding
national standard.
