Year 6 National Tests

 

After disruption due to Covid, the typical assessment schedule for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 is back up and running for May/June 2022.

 

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

 

  • Reading
  • Maths
  • Grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) 

 

These tests are both set and marked externally, and the results are used to measure the school’s performance (for example, through reporting to Ofsted and published league tables). Your child’s marks will be used in conjunction with teacher assessment to give a broader picture of their attainment.

 

The KS2 SATs for English and maths taken since 2016 reflect the amended national curriculum, and are more rigorous than previous years' tests. There is also a new SATs marking scheme and grading system which has replaced national curriculum levels.

 

In 2020 and 2021 KS2 SATs did not take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Primary school SATs results will not be published in national league tables until 2023 to reflect the disruption to children's learning.

 

The following document provides examples of questions in the style of the reading test with example answers for each question. The questions are under headings for each area of knowledge or skill that is tested.

 

The following document provides example maths questions. This is just a small snapshot and does not show all of the areas that will be tested.
