YEAR 6 MATHS, ENGLISH & SCIENCE PROGRAMME (SATS)
Year 6 SATs exams are held during May of each year. This is a compulsory exam for children aged between 10 and 11 as part of the National Curriculum Assessment Programme. Children sit for SATs exam. From 2016 the SATs exams are taking a new style and more rigorous to reflect the new National Curriculum. The New SATs English Test includes reading, spelling, punctuation and grammar. The New SATs Maths Test include arithmetic, mathematical fluency, solving problems and reasoning.
Our Year 6 SATs programme has developed to reflect the new National Curriculum and structured to enable children to prepare for the SATs programme addressing each paper.
What topics do Key Stage 2 SATs assess?
Year 6 SATs assess the topics taught on the Key Stage 2 national curriculum for English and maths.
English: reading, spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
Maths: number, data, geometry, algebra, measurement, ratio and proportion
There are 6 papers in total – 3 for English (grammar and punctuation, spelling, and reading), and 3 for maths (2 reasoning papers and an arithmetic paper).
SATs are important to give teachers and parents an insight into children’s strengths and areas for development. The results help teachers understand which pupils need extra support as they prepare to finish primary school and start secondary school. They’re also used by the government to review the quality of education at schools across the country.
Some secondary schools use Year 6 SATs results to help group students into sets or streams. Being confident and prepared for SATs will help your child start Year 7 in a high set for English and/or maths.
