SATS 2012
Mon 14th May – Fri 18th May
Please collect a pack of handouts (on tables) – ONE per child please!
New arrangements:
• No formal writing test will be sat in SATs week
• “A pupil's writing result will be a teacher assessment judgment of their work across Year 6. Teachers' judgements will be informed by and take account of (but not be limited by) the pupil's result on a standard test that will be sent to schools earlier in the spring term.”
• Pupils will sit the writing paper (in test conditions) out of the SATs week; date TBA
SATs WEEK Tests:
• Reading Paper (1 hour – 15mins pre reading & 45mins
answer time)
• Maths Paper A (45mins)• Maths Paper B (45mins with calculator)• Mental Maths (20 questions)
• Sat in test conditions
Why we have SATs (and how they can be helpful!):
• It gives you an idea of a child’s progress compared to others of a similar age, nationally (and locally)
• It allows pupils to challenge themselves and shows them what they can achieve when they push themselves
• It is a good introduction to the independent learning skills they will need in Secondary school
(They DO NOT determine the Secondary school your child gets in to)
How you can help….
• Check over your child’s homework – is it a true reflection of their ability?
• Ensure pupils are revising – for a sensible amount of time
• Listen to your child read and ask questions about the text (see handout)
• Test mental maths and times tables • Use Fronter as a form of revision and to
improve skills
Other info…
• Marked test scripts and results will be made available to schools by Tuesday 10 July 2012.
• It is important that you are in school this week to sit your tests
