Performance Data – 2024/2025.
What are SATs?
SATs are national assessments used in all state schools to compare pupils’ attainment with others of the same age. They take place at Key Stage 1 (Year 2, age 7) and Key Stage 2 (Year 6, age 11).
At KS1, assessments are carried out informally in the classroom throughout the year as part of everyday English and maths lessons, often without children realising they are being assessed. Pupils are assessed in reading, writing, spelling and maths, including number skills, problem solving and understanding key concepts.
At KS2, pupils sit formal National Curriculum tests in English and maths, including a grammar, punctuation and spelling test. In both key stages, children are only assessed on content they have already covered in class.
