SATs stands for Standardised Assessment Tests
SATs are public examinations which are marked outside of school
They assess the attainment of Year 6 pupils in the core subjects of Maths and English.

On May 2016, children in Year 2 and Year 6 were the first pupils to take the new SATs papers
These tests in English and Maths aim to reflect the new National Curriculum and are intended to be more rigorous
Also introduced was a completely new marking scheme to replace the existing national curriculum levels
![Page 6: Year 6 SATs - jamesbateman.staffs.sch.uk](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051012/627696beecdb2a215838c06f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The previous national curriculum levels have been scrapped and instead, children are now given scaled scores.
Tests are marked externally and the results will become available in mid July.
You will be given your child’s raw score (the actual number of marks they get), alongside their scaled score and whether they have reached the national average or Age Related Expectations (ARE)
The raw score needed to reach the national average has yet to be announced, but in order to reach ARE, a standardized score of 100 needs to be achieved.
