Do you tell a Year 2 child their Sats result?

[ICantFindAGoodNickname]

Just wondered given many Year 2 children don't even know they are being formally assessed...how many parents choose to share the results of their KS1 Sats with their kids and why?

I think most parents share but I don't know why

I've asked my DD if she wants to read her school report (which contains them) but she has declined, she isn't bothered.

No way. Just told DC I was pleased with its behaviour and the way it supported other children and concentrated and listened in class. DC has absolutely no idea about its level.

I think children don't need to know their levels until much later. A lot can change at this stage. They're already too aware of the hierarchy in the classroom.

We didn't bother at year 2, but DS has just done year 6 SATS and he knew all about the tests this time and wanted to know how he had done.

All of dd's friends were talking about theirs so we didn't really have a choice .

Violet - that's awful!! My dd has no idea she's taken them and they only give out results at the end of term so hopefully she'll still ahve no idea she's had them!

I'm not intending to tell DS about them next year when he's in year 2

I don't remember it being discussed either amongst the children or by us to the children in year 2. I do remember by year 6 a number of children were being given financial rewards for sats, so it was definitely a topic for discussion between them and rather harder to gloss over as a parent should you want to.

Not for year 2, but DD will know this week when the results are out for the Year 6 SATs as they have spent the whole year under a lot of pressure preparing for them.

Not for yr2 as I wouldn't think they'd be interested.As for yr 6 dd knew before I did as teacher showed them if they wanted to know before reports were issued I but would have told her anyway.

I asked my DD if she knew what SATs were when she got her Year 2 report. She said she had no idea, which tells me the school got it right! She did extremely well marks-wise, and I asked if she wanted to read her report, which she did. I just took out the score sheet. DD got all giggly when she read what her teacher had said about her

DD1 likes to read her report and asked what the levels were. So I told her and praised her for doing well (which she did), but didn't go over the top. She hasn't shown any interest whatsoever in what anyone else "got".

dd's teacher handed over large brown envelopes at pick-up the other day - cue dd:"what's that, can we open it? is it the SATs results?"

So yes, I told her what she'd got - she'd done extremely well, was very pleased "that means I must have spelt 'blanket' correctly, mummy! I was worried I hadn't", and hasn't shown the slightest interest in what anyone else got
