St Monica's Catholic Primary School
Key Stage 2 SATs Results
SATS have been suspended for the time being in Year 6. There are therefore no results for 2020 and will be no published results for 2021.
In “normal times” (ie not during covid-19 lockdowns) during May, when the children are in Year 6, they complete tests in English and Maths (since 2010 there are no separate tests for Science).
The reading, spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPAG) and maths test papers are sent away to be marked externally and the writing levels are worked out through teachers’ assessments. In previous years children were given an overall level for English but this is now separated into the three different areas; reading comprehension, writing and SPAG. The results are published in League Tables. Children are assessed to see if they have reached Age Related Expectations (ARE), working towards this standard or working at greater depth (GD).
We are very proud of our children’s outstanding attainment, (which is generally well above the national averages each year) and the good progress that children make over time.
