Year 6 SATS 

At the end of Year 6, children sit tests in:

• English reading
• English grammar, punctuation and spelling Paper 1: short answer questions
• English grammar, punctuation and spelling Paper 2: spelling
• Mathematics Paper 1: arithmetic
• Mathematics Paper 2: reasoning
• Mathematics Paper 3: reasoning

These tests are both set and marked externally, and your child’s marks will be used in conjunction with teacher assessment to give a broader picture of their attainment.

Tips on how you can help your child prepare

The biggest single influence on your child’s SAT marks will be their reading ability. Good readers can read questions quickly, and understand what they need to do. Continue to encourage your child to read every day, looking at both stories and non-fiction.
