Key Stage 2 Assessments

Class teachers are responsible for judging the standards your child is working at by the end of key stage 2. To help inform those judgements, pupils sit national curriculum tests in English and mathematics, commonly called SATs. 

In Year 6, SATs are a more formal process of testing and pupils will sit statutory tests in:

• English Reading
• English Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS)
• Maths

They will also be assessed by their teachers and be awarded a judgement in writing and science. By using Teacher assessment, we are able to judge a child's performance over a longer period of time. 

Statutory Assessment Tests (SATs) are scheduled to take place for our current Year 6 Pupils during May.

We will do everything we can do to ensure the children are well-prepared for these assessments so that they can do their very best, which is all we can ask of them. 

Additional Tests

As part of the school assessment cycle, we use termly assessment to support our teacher judgements in addition to the above in all year groups. These are used to measure progress and track how children are progressing through the curriculum. 

Year 4 Times Table Check

Administration of the Year 4 Times Table Check is compulsory and it takes plac ein June for all year 4 children. Further information wil be provided closer to the time.

The purpose of the check is to determine whether pupils can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help us to identify pupils who may need additional support, informing our next steps in provision. 

The test will be carried out in classes 7 & 8. The assessment is carried out on the i-pad and is very much like a quiz. Children will prepare for this test through work in class and TT Rockstars at home.
