Key Stage 1 SATs Results 2009
Year 2 children complete Standard Assessment Tasks/Tests (SATs) towards the end of the academic year. These tests and tasks help to support the ongoing teacher assessment that continually takes place throughout the year.
Teacher Assessment offers a professional judgement of a child's performance over a length of time. Parents/Carers are informed about their child's Teacher Assessment results at the end of the Summer Term with the Annual Report.
