St Monica's Catholic Primary School
Key Stage 2 SATs Results
When the children are in Year 6, they complete tests in English and Maths during the month of May.
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. Pre-Covid, the results were 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.
