Year 6 SATs information

At the end of key stage 2, your child will take national curriculum tests in English grammar, punctuation and spelling, English reading and mathematics.

The tests help measure the progress pupils have made and identify if they need additional support in a certain area. The tests are also used to assess schools’ performance and to produce national performance data.

The key stage 2 tests will be taken on set dates unless your child is absent, in which case they may be able to take them up to 5 school days afterwards.

Date	Subject	Test paper
Tuesday 9th May	English grammar, punctuation and spelling	Punctuation and grammar (including vocabulary) Spelling
Wednesday 10th May	English reading	English reading

Friday 12th May	Mathematics	Mathematical reasoning

 

At the end of the summer term you will receive test results for:

• English grammar, punctuation and spelling
• English reading
• mathematics

Teacher assessment

As there is no test for English writing, this will be reported as a teacher assessment judgement. This is a judgement teachers will make, based on your child’s work at the end of key stage 2. You will also receive a teacher assessment judgement for science.
