SATs, or Standard Attainment Tasks, are compulsory written tests for all school-age pupils.
Seven-year-olds are tested between January and July each year in English and Mathematics. They are also tested seperately by their teacher in English, Mathematics and Science. These are Key Stage 1 SATs.
Eleven year olds are tested in May in English, Mathematics and Science. They are also separately assessed in the same subjects by their class teacher. These are Key Stage 2 SATs.
What do the levels mean?
Within each subject are attainment targets which set out what pupils are expected to know and be able to do in levels of increasing difficulty. (Pupils who have not yet reached Level 1 are described as 'working towards' it - hence 'W' in the tables.) The tables show the percentage of pupils at each level in the National Curriculum subjects.
Why are there two methods of assessment?
Teacher assessment complements the written SATs tests. Putting the two results together gives a more accurate overall picture of hte puil's attainment. Our latest SATs results are available on another page.
