So can someone clarify if I have got the following wrong.
Key Stage 1 is Yrs 1 and 2 until the child turns 7.
SATS at the end of KS1 are just for the teacher and child, not for the parents. They have no bearing if the child applies to junior school?
Key Stage 2 is Yrs 3,4,5,6 until the child turns 11.
SATS at the end of KS2 are for when the child applies to High School and Grammar schools, but Grammar Schools have their own admission tests at the beginning of year 11.
So overall only KS2 stats are important for when your child applies to High School but not if they apply to Grammar Schools.
So what is the real purpose of KS1 unless they also look at KS1 results for when you apply to High School or Grammar school?
