Do not let them plough through revision in one go remember the ‘little and often’ rule. This way, your child will not see it as a chore and it will be more effective.

There is no reason why you or your child should be frightened of testing, be matter-of-fact about it and present it as a small part of your child’s time at Primary school.

ABOUT THE SATS CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT SUBJECTS DURING THEIR TIME IN PRIMARY EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS WILL ASSESS THEIR PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THEIR LEARNING. SATS ARE TAKEN AT THE END OF YEAR 2 AND YEAR 6 IN THESE AREAS OF ENGLISH AND MATHS: • READING • GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION • SPELLING • ARITHMETIC • REASONING The Key Stage 1 tests are marked by teachers within the school and the Key Stage 2 tests are marked externally. Test results are reported as a scaled score, where 100 represents the ‘national standard’.

In Year 1, children are also given a short, simple phonics assessment to make sure they have learned phonic decoding to an agreed standard by the age of 6. This ‘phonics screening check’ helps teachers identify who needs extra help, so they can give them extra support to improve reading skills. These children re-take the assessment in Year 2.

NO SATS - HURRAH!!

GETTING READY FOR THE BIG DAY ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE ‘BE ALL AND END ALL’ OF YOUR CHILD’S EDUCATION, SATS CAN POTENTIALLY BE QUITE STRESSFUL. THESE SIMPLE IDEAS WILL IMPROVE THEIR CONFIDENCE AND ENSURE THEY FEEL PREPARED. ✓ MAKE A PLAN! Focus on the areas that your child struggles with.

✓ MIX IT UP! Vary the subjects daily and stick to a specified time and duration.

✓ HAVE A CHAT! After they finish an activity, ask how it went and if they need any extra help.

✓ STAY CALM! Use breathing exercises, open conversations, or even meditation. Explain how by making mistakes we identify areas to develop.

✓ HAVE FUN! Try to shape some revision around real life. For example, tackle fractions and percentages when shopping! ✓ EAT HEALTHY! Make sure your child has a healthy breakfast (every morning) and drinks plenty of water.
