Performance and results (SATs)
Trinity CE Primary School SATs
Most pupils in Year 6 will take National Curriculum tests, commonly referred to as SATs. These tests, at the end of Key Stage 2 (KS2), will include English grammar, punctuation and spelling, along with reading and maths. They are designed to measure a school's performance and to ensure pupils are supported ahead of moving to secondary school. Our teachers will make sure pupils are prepared for these tests.
Since summer 2016, more challenging SATs tests have reflected the new curriculum at the end of the Key Stages. Children now receive a scaled score instead of a level. Their raw score – the actual number of marks they accrue – will be translated into a scaled score; this helps to allow for differences in the difficulty of the tests from year to year, so that pupils' results can be compared accurately.
In KS2, the papers are marked externally, with no teacher assessment involved. Each child receives a raw score (though you probably won't be given it as a parent), a scaled score and confirmation of whether or not they achieved the national standard.
The range of scaled scores available for each KS2 test ranges from 80 (the lowest possible scaled score) to 120 (the highest possible scaled score).
A scaled score of 100 or more means that the child has met the expected standard in each KS2 SATs test; a scaled score of 99 or less means they haven't reached the government-expected standard.

An area of improvement that we have identified as being relevant to the whole school is maths and we are addressing this through the school's development plan. We have a strong new team leading the improvement of maths provision throughout the school and we’ve also been working with advisors from the Local Authority and ensuring any changes we are making are driven by evidence-based research
