Primary SATs take place for pupils aged 6 and 7 in Year 2 but what are they?
SAT stands for Standard Assessment Test. The tests are designed to measure how much progress pupils have made against the English National Curriculum (English and Maths).
Local authorities and Ofsted also use the data from SATs scores.
Schools usually have until the end of the month to administer the Year 2 (Key Stage One) SATs . Your children may not even realise that they are taking any tests! The Key Stage One SATs consist of an English grammar spelling and punctuation test, an English reading test and two mathematics papers (arithmetic and reasoning).
Update: As of 2024, Year 2 tests (KS1 SATs) are optional for schools. Some schools are still using the tests but doing so at the end of the academic year rather than in May. Please check with your child's school or class teacher if you are unsure.
