Key stage 2 2020 SATS Y6 Information Evening Tuesday 4th February 2020
Agenda KeyStage Tests What’s changed Reading, SPaG and Maths Tests How to help Questions
Key Stage 2 SATS
} The new curriculum was assessed for the
first time in May 2016
} This year’s tests are timetabled from
Monday 11th to Thursday 14th May 2020
} There is science sampling for this
academic year.
What’s changed The new set of tests was introduced in May 2016 which link progress with Year Group Expectations (YGE) rather than giving a level. All pupils take just one set of tests. The tests include a small number of questions to stretch the most able pupils.
Explaining the changes
All test outcomes at both KS1 and KS2 are
reported as a scaled score.
The national standard is 100.
Raw scores (the number of marks awarded
for each subject) will be translated to scaled
scores (a comparable score for each subject)
using a conversion table).
Pupils will receive a raw score, a scaled score
and confirmation of attainment of the
national standard.Timetable
