The Key Stage 2 SATs take place at the beginning of May and are used to check whether your child has achieved age-related expectations for English and Mathematics.
Once all SAT’s papers are marked, your child will be awarded a scaled score between 80 and 120. A score 100 (or more) means that your child has met (or exceeded) the expected standard.
For some parents and children, the formal exam conditions used for SAT’s might feel particularly daunting. As a result, their scores may not be an accurate indication of their progress and ability. Hence, their targets may be updated once they begin secondary school and show their true ability.
At The Study Space we can help your child by going over the areas that they find the most difficult. The initial assessment will guide our tutors to understand your child’s individual academic strengths and then work on their weaknesses in a nice and calm study space.
Our free assessment / free taster session lasts approximately 40 to 80 minutes depending on age which allows us to identify areas for concern and to work on an individual programme tailored to your child. From Reception to Year 7 the activities are split up into 6 areas. This might for example be 4 Maths areas and 2 English or split evenly depending on the assessment. Once a student reaches Year 8 they are ready to start working towards their GCSE and so students usually pick a subject they need to work on such as a Pure Mathematics Programme Only, English Language or Literature, Science, History or Geography.
