  1. Introduction to SATs Welcome and thank you for taking the time this afternoon. Thursday 7th February

  2. Let’s get down to it! • Test dates : 13th to the 16th May

  3. Test Week Breakfast club is free to all Y6 children during test week. Managed by the Y6 team. Again, this is optional. Any dietary requirements will be catered for. We have had celiac, gluten and lactose intolerance in previous years. Each child will get a bottle of water for the tests and a selection of sweets.

  4. What to expect? • Each test is different All have different pass marks (not known yet) • Different time allowances.

  5. Reading • An hour long. • Goes very quickly; children need to work quickly. • Last year’s test pass mark was 28 / 50…

  8. Maths • 3 tests • Pass mark was 60 / 110 last year • Arithmetic – 40 30 minutes • Reasoning 1 – 35 40 minutes • Reasoning 2 – 35 40 minutes

  9. Examples • 4 − 1.15 = 2016 arithmetic • 15% of 440 = 2016 arithmetic • 1 - = 2016 arithmetic

  10. Grammar • 2 tests • Pass mark was 38 out of 70 last year • Grammar test – 50 (45 minutes) • Spelling test – 20

  11. Examples

  12. A scaled score. • For every test the children will receive a raw score. A total out of the maximum mark available. • This will be converted into a standardised score. 100 equals the pass mark. • Higher than the pass mark gets you a score above 100, below the pass mark gets a score below 100.

  13. Emerging, expected, exceeding • If you score less than 100 – it is classed as emerging to the standard of KS2 • 100 - 109 -classed as expected standard of KS2 • 110+ - classed as exceeding the standard of KS2

  14. Happy to know • We have slowly dipped our toes in to the waters of tests and test technique – drip feed it. • Writing is Teacher Assessed based against a set criteria.

  15. How you can help • During test week, make sure bed times are early. • Try not to do anything unusual, e.g. Trampolining, sky-diving, no surprise injuries please. • Any idea of holidays, please refrain… • Homework
