Year 6 SATs Revision

At the end of Key Stage 2 pupils take their Statutory Assessment Tests (SATs).

The dates for these tests are set by the government and the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and are usually set two years in advance.

In 2011 Key Stage 2 SATs will take place between

Monday 13th June and Friday 17th June.

The structure of Year 6 SATs are as follows:

Mathematics

Mental Paper 20 minutes
Paper A Calculator not allowed 45 minutes
Paper B Calculator allowed 45 minutes


English

Writing Long task 45 minutes
Writing Short task 20 minutes
Spelling 10 minutes
Reading 45 minutes + 15 min. reading

National Curriculum Tests in Science at Key Stage 2 have been discontinued. Schools will use teacher assessment of pupils’ attainment in science as the basis for reporting to parents.

There will be a representative sample (approx 5% of Year 6 pupils) that will be required to to take a statutory Science sample test.


Science

Paper A 45 minutes
Paper B 45 minutes


If your child is in Year 6 then now is the time to start revising for the tests.

Chichester Primary Tutors can make the revision process fun, subject specific and will use past test papers on a one to one basis to consolidate skills and ensure that your child has confidence in tackling the SAT questions.

I will use past SAT papers, interactive games, quizzes and revision sites. I have many strategies to help children remember some of the more complex concepts and specific vocabulary. I will report back to the parents after each lesson so that they can consolidate specific areas during the week.

My enthusiasm and ability to create self confidence in pupils, even the most reluctant learners, means that your child will be as prepared as they possibly can be to tackle the SAT tests in June.
