KS1/KS2 SATs - (Standard Assessment Tests)


Children are assessed at the end of each Key stage.


In a primary school this will be at the end of year 2 (children aged 6-7) and year 6 (children aged 10-11). Some schools use optional tests in years 3, 4 and 5 to track progress. These are based on and marked in the same way as SATS tests.


The tests show if your child is working above, in line with or below the target level for their age.


Key Stage 1 SATs


Year 2 children will be assessed in:



  • Reading
  • Writing (including grammar and spelling)
  • Maths

The tests are not all taken in one go and will usually take place in May. Teachers try to work them into the school routine. The results are based on the performance of the child in several tasks and tests, the class teacher will mark the tests. Most children at the end of year 2 are expected to achieve a Level 2. The teacher assessment is moderated by the local authority to ensure consistency.


Key Stage 2 SATs


These are much more formal and taken under test conditions i.e. set time allowed, scripted instructions given etc. The tests are taken on set days (usually in May) and completed over the space of 1 week. They are then sent off and marked externally, with the results being given to parents before the child leaves primary school.


Year 6 children will be assessed in:



  • Reading
  • Writing which is teacher assessed
  • Spelling
  • Grammar
  • Maths (including mental maths)
  • Teacher assessment is used to assess science, but a few schools will be picked every year to complete the Science sats tests.

What Level Is Expected In All The Other Years?


Teacher assessments are carried out on a regular basis in schools, normally at the end of each term. This helps the teacher track each child's progress and informs their planning for the following term.


Assessment Levels


Children are given a level in Maths and English to show if they are working at the age expected level.
Schools will share levels with parents when children have completed the sats tests, some schools will share children's levels with their parents on a regular basis (every term or every year), to give parents an idea as to how their child is progressing at school.

"Amazing site just renewed my subscription for the second year. This site is well structured and has helped to assure me that the work we do at home co-ordinates and strengthens the work done at school."

Reena Chohan

"Teach My Kids is a fantastic resource. We use the work sheets to reinforce the Maths and English that our children, James 9 and Katie 8, are learning at school. They are ideal for when we have a spare 10 – 15 minutes, and also give us as parents the opportunity to see how much our kids know!

As and when the work sheets are completed, I log in and tick them as completed, so it’s clear which topics have been covered. I try to do 2 - 4 of worksheets a week and feel that they are of great benefit to both our children.

I would definitely recommend ‘Teach My Kids’, it’s fantastic value for money and if you have any questions or queries these are answered promptly."
