SATs

If you have a child in year 6, at the end of KS2 they will take national curriculum assessments in:

• English grammar, punctuation and spelling.
• English reading
• Mathematics

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 tests are also used to assess schools’ performance, and school-level results data is used to produce national and regional performance statistics.

Your child will sit the KS2 tests on scheduled dates set by the Standards and Testing Agency (STA). If your child is absent on a scheduled test day, they may be able to take any missed tests up to 5 school days afterwards. Your child’s school must apply for a timetable variation and receive approval from STA to allow for this.

For the academic year 2023 to 2024, the KS2 tests are scheduled to take place from:

Monday 13 May to Thursday 16 May 2024.
