Year 6 SATS 2014 Timetable
Absence during the test period
Lord Bew’s review recommended that children who are absent for a National Curriculumtest can take the test up to a week after the published test date.There is a variation timetable that we can use for these children to sit the tests.
The English tests
• English reading test
• Writing within year 6 is now based on a
teacher assessment.
•Grammar Test:
•Each child will receive a separate result
for writing reading and grammar.
•The reading and grammar result are also
combined to give an overall English level.
•The average result for most children
within year 6 is a level 4.
The mathematics tests
The mathematics tests comprise:
• Papers 1 and 2- this year these are
both non calculator tests. We no
longer sit a calculator paper.
• mental mathematics test.
Children’s marks from all three tests
will be aggregated to calculate their
overall mathematics level.
The level 6 testsSchools can also administer level 6 tests in English reading, grammar and mathematics tohigh attaining children. These tests are optional.Headteachers should take into account children’s expected attainment prior to entering them for these tests as they should already be demonstrating attainment above level 5.Children will be required to achieve both a level 5 in the end of Key Stage 2 test and passthe level 6 test in the corresponding subject, in order to be awarded an overall level 6 testresult in that subject.
Test results will be available to the school
on 8th July 2014
Supporting your children
Ensure your child is at school everyday.
Use the revision books to go through any areas your child is concerned about.
Let your child’s teacher know if your child is worried or is experiencing any difficulties which they need to know about.
Help us to help you. If there is anything we can do to help you with your child let us know.
Supporting your children
We are targeting children who need support through Booster sessions in school. Your children also have the opportunity to attend revision club 3 lunchtimes a week.
The children are taught in smaller sets allowing staff to target specific learning needs.
We are aware of the needs of the children and during testing children will be placed in groups with the support they need.
Please come and talk to us if you have any individual worries or concerns.
