Year 6 SATs
SATs (Standard Assessment Tests) for Year 6 take place in May. These tests in English and maths will reflect the national curriculum, and are intended to be rigorous.
At the end of Year 6, children will sit tests in:
- Reading
- Maths (papers in arithmetic and reasoning)
- Spelling, punctuation and grammar
These tests are set and marked externally; the results will be used to calculate your child’s progress and the school’s performance. Your child’s marks will be used in conjunction with teacher assessment to give a broader picture of their attainment.
Year 6 (Key Stage 2)
In 2019, 80% of our pupils achieved expected or above in Reading, Writing and Maths (combined), compared to 65% nationally.

At the end of Reception children are assessed through teacher assessment. A Good Level of Development (GLD) is defined as children working at or exceeding the expected standard in the key areas of literacy, maths, physical development, communication and language and personal, social and emotional development.
