  8. End of year assessment (SATs…) • What subjects? • What happens? • What are the tests like? • What’s the average result for Year 2 • How can I help my child?

  9. What subjects? • Literacy (reading, writing and speaking and listening) • Numeracy • Science (not formally assessed)

  10. What happens? • KS1 SATs are no longer the big deal that they once were. • Children sit tests during SATs week (they actually enjoy it if we make sound like fun) • Teachers then moderate the child’s work from the entire year and see if the mark they received in the SATs matches their ability throughout the year. • Greater consideration goes to teacher’s assessment than actual test.

  11. What are the tests like? • The tests are done in the classroom and children must work independently. • There is no extra pressure put on the children and they are told to just do the best they can. • By that time of year children will be used to working independently. • They will also be familiar with the format.

  12. Results for Year 2 • The national average score for end of year 2 is a 2b. • Some chn may be above and some may be below. • Results go 1c, 1b, 1a, 2c, 2b, 2a, 3 • Always look at the progress your child has made and not where they finish.

  13. How can I help? • Don’t talk about SATs! • Make sure you encourage your child to do their homework thoroughly • Read regularly with your child • Find opportunities for your child to use numbers in everyday situations and encourage them to do sums in their head • Encourage your child to follow up interests and talk about them • Help your child to be ready to learn • Ensure your child is not tired at school • Ensure your child arrives at school on time • Please ensure that your child is in school during the assessment week/s.

  14. Thank you for Listening • Questions?
