SATS key stage 1 and 2 affect nearly all children aged 7 years old (KS1) and 11 years old (KS2),. Do you understand tboy at deskhe implications, the ways to help and revise and the exact format of the papers? There is very little information available about any of these tests. Many books bought in the shops do not illustrate the exact format although the content may be the same. I have tried to replicate the format of the booklets, the standards required and the subject content for each age group in our papers created especially for Parents in Touch.

SATS at key stage 1  At the age of 7, your child will be required to take tests. These tests are primarily to enable teachers to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of each individual pupil. Each pupil will have been working at their own rate and some will find maths easier than reading or vice versa. As each child will normally have followed the Literacy  and Numeracy syllabus as laid down by the government they should be ready to take the tests

There is no notion of ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. The aim is to let you know how well your child is progressing in relation to national expectations; to tell the next school or teacher what each child needs to learn next; and to inform each school about how well it is teaching aspects of the National Curriculum. Each class teacher will be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each child and as they are very young there is no pressure or desire for the child to do anything else but their best. What a child cannot do at seven they will find easier at eight. Education is NOT a race or even an absolute science.
