To ask about key stage 1 SATs

[Mummyshark2019]

We received our year 2 sat marks today but it did not say what the national average was. Does anyone know?

The scaled score system means the "pass" is 100, see the link www.gov.uk/government/publications/2019-scaled-scores-at-key-stage-1

We just received exceeding, emerging or expected for each subject. Did you receive an actual mark?

No. sorry I don't know national average but did the school put it in context? I.e. have they told you if your child has done as they would hope. Surely if they have that's enough?

nobody knows, the scores are not collected.

Your child will have a raw score, which will have been converted to a scaled score and used to help decide whether your child is expected, emerging or working at greater depth. You may have received all or just some of this information, but the scaled score is the most helpful.

You can see how many children achieved the expected standard for your school, as well as nationwide, in a little while (usually round about Sept). You can see last year's which might help. The national figure has been generally mid 70s for maths and reading and a bit lower for writing. But this varies a lot between schools. So there isn't any "national average" as such, but you can see how your own child is doing.

Barbie222 you can't for KS1 sats, you can see how many children achieved expected etc. but these are not just based on the SATs, other teacher evaluation is used. There is no way to compare scores or performance on the SATs papers themselves with others.
