SATs 2019

What are Sats?

Each year the government set a test for all 11 year olds to take at the end of the studies at KS2 - these are commonly known as 'sats tests'. Your class teacher will prepare your child fully for the tests in May. 

Your child will set tests in the following subjects:
  • Reading
  • Maths
  • Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS)
Writing and science are assessed by the class teacher through internal and external moderation. 
​

How can I help my child?

At GLPS, we ensure that our children receive a balanced yet rigorous curriculum. This enables the children to confidently tackle their tests whilst also having fun and forming positive relationships with other learners.

  • Daily times table revision.
  • Daily reading with an adult or sibling.
  • Get lots of sleep.
  • Eat a healthy breakfast.
  • Ask them questions; 'What did you learn about today?'
  • Don't be afraid to ask the school for help and support.
