Key Stage 2 Standardised Assessment.

Key Stage 2 (KS2) SATs are national curriculum assessments taken by children in Year 6 (aged 10-11) in England at the end of the Key Stage 2 period. These tests aim to measure pupils' attainment in relation to the standards set out in the national curriculum.   

Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of Key Stage 2 SATs:

Subjects Tested:

• English:
  • English grammar, punctuation and spelling: This consists of two papers:
    • Paper 1: questions assessing grammar and punctuation.  
    • Paper 2: a spelling test where children fill in missing words in a text read aloud.  
  • English reading: One paper that involves reading a booklet containing three different genres of text and answering comprehension questions.  
• Mathematics: This consists of three papers:
  • Paper 1: arithmetic, focusing on calculation skills.  
  • Paper 2: reasoning, requiring children to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems.  
  • Paper 3: reasoning, similar to Paper 2, with different problem-solving scenarios.
