Year 6 SATs – What Are They?
At the end of Year 6, children take their Key Stage 2 SATs (Standard Assessment Tests). These are national tests taken by pupils in primary schools across England to assess their learning in core subjects.
The tests take place in May and assess:
-
Reading
-
Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS)
-
Mathematics (Arithmetic and Reasoning)
Writing is assessed by teachers throughout the year and is based on the children’s work across a range of subjects.
SATs help secondary schools understand your child’s academic strengths and areas for development as they move into Year 7. While the tests are important, they are just one measure of your child’s progress.
We aim to approach SATs in a calm, supportive way, ensuring pupils feel confident and well-prepared.
If you have any questions about SATs or how to support your child at home, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Please see the dates and timetable below for when your child will be sitting these exams:
Year 6 had a fantastic time on their residential to Frank Chapman. Children were tested to their limits and had to show excellent team work, determination and perseverance. We did activities such as archery, high ropes, the blind line and caving. We all had a great time.

Year 6 Curriculum Overview:
Homework is set at the end of each week. This will be in the CGP revision guides. All pupils have three books: Arithmetic, Maths and Grammar. Only 1 book will be sent home each week with a selection of pages given that must be completed. These need to be returned back to school by Tuesday of the following week.
Each night pupils are expected to read for 5 minutes and record in their reading records the title, page numbers and a short summary of what they have read. We ask parents sign their reading records weekly.
Spellings are set each week on Edshed. Pupils will need to login weekly to practise these. They are then tested weekly in school.
Additional homework maybe set on purple mash or TT Rockstars.

Today our learning was off site. We went to the Black Country Museum to enhance our learning on the Industrial Revolution. Even the rain did not stop us exploring, asking really good questions and see what life was like. We even had a lesson in the Victorian school house where we had to recite the alphabet backward, Miss Collier faced a public shaming and Miss Ledbury got the cane!
