Our Ethos
At Bridstow, we believe every child should flourish. SATs are just one way we celebrate their learning journey.
Key stage 2 tests
Children in year 6, at the end of key stage 2 (KS2), will take national curriculum assessments in English Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling; English Reading and Mathematics. Some people refer to these tests as SATs.
The tests help measure the attainment of pupils in relation to the standards set out in the national curriculum and help teachers and parents identify where pupils may need additional support in a certain subject area.
There are no tests for English Writing or Science at the end of KS2, but performance in these subjects will be reported as a teacher assessment judgement. Teachers will make this judgement based on a child’s overall work and performance in the subject.
