Statutory Assessment Tasks and Tests (also
includes Teacher Assessment).

(7 years) and at the end of Key Stage 2
(at 11 years).

Around 80% of children are at Level 4 by the
end of Key Stage 2.
 Some children will still be at Level 3 and some
children will achieve Level 5.
 A small percentage of children will not yet be
working at Level 3.
 A very small percentage will be working
beyond Level 5 and maybe entered
for Optional Level 6 test.




For children working at Level 3 and above,
there are two sorts of assessments: tests and
teacher assessments.
For children working below Level 3, the only
statutory assessment is teacher assessment
and those children do not necessarily take the
tests.
We work closely as a team to ensure that
pupils are not put in for tests that they
cannot do or feel they cannot achieve in.

Majority of test papers are sent to external markers.
Arrive back in school in early July.
 We then check the results and papers to ensure there are
no errors. Sometimes papers are sent for re-marking.
 Schools must inform parents of SATs results by the end
of the school year in July.
 Parents receive test and teacher assessment levels for
English and Maths. You will receive all levels for subjects.
 Parents are given the overall school results as a
percentage. These are compared to the previous
year’s national figures.
N.B. A school’s results depends on cohort.
