What are SATs?
SATs are statutory assessments carried out by all state schools. They assess how your child’s abilities compare nationally with other children in the same year group.
SATs testing takes place at Key Stage 2 (KS2), when your child will take part in National Curriculum tests in English, maths and the new grammar test at the end of Year 6 (usually age 11). There writing ability will also be assessed by teachers, this is often moderated by an external agency.
