SATs:
At the end of key stage 2, in Year 6, your child will take national curriculum assessments in:
- English grammar, punctuation and spelling
- English reading
- Mathematics
Some people refer to these tests as SATs.
The tests help measure the attainment of pupils in relation to the standards set out in the national curriculum, and help teachers and parents identify where pupils may need additional support in a certain subject area. The test results are also used to report publicly on schools’ performance via the Department for Education’s (DfE) Compare School and College Performance service and to produce national and regional performance statistics.
Please click here for an information leaflet for parents with more information.

Spellings:
Each week, your child will be tested on a set of spellings which link to a rule or pattern. Spelling tests will take place on a Monday and the new list for the week ahead will also be shared.
We please ask that families set aside blocks of 10-15 minutes at least three times a week for children to practise their given rule.
