Year 6 SATs Information
Please be aware pupils are tested on the current National Curriculum which was introduced in 2014.
This means that there is a higher level of expectation and challenge which includes:
- A strong emphasis on comprehension including fictional and non-fictional texts in the reading test
- A requirement for pupils to know and apply technical terminology as part of the grammar and punctuation test
- Higher order skills are tested as part of all the papers
- A scaled scoring system. This means that the number of marks gained will be converted into a scale score. A scaled score of 100 will show where a pupil has met the Age Related Expectations (ARE). The Department of Education will publish the range of scaled scores after the tests have been completed and marked
