Year 6 sats results-when do schools receive them?

[Katie172]

Hi ! Our primary have told me today that end of year reports will not be available for at least another week as they haven't got the sats results in yet? Does anyone know when primaries receive them please?

They should have the marked papers back by now, but the grade boundaries aren't released till the 9th, so they won't be able to tell you officially what level your child has achieved until then.

Thank you -wouldn't be so worried but dd's class has had a terrible year. The year 6 teacher has been off sick since September and they had a string of 16 supply teachers until January when a long term supply teacher arrived. The teacher is a NQT and I had high hopes that a great 7 months would follow but very little work has been done. The teacher is disorganised, doesn't plan lessons and although the ht is supposed to have been the teachers mentor we were told that she hasn't had time to do this. In short it has been a disaster and dd was below average to begin with........sorry rant over! Thank you for letting me know !

Katie:

The government will be releasing threshold boundaries for KS2 SATs scores on Tuesday July 9th.

If schools are giving SATs results out before that - they can only be provisional (they may be correct - but the school is in fact guessing).

Official guidance for English primary schools here: www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/187455/Assessment_20and_20reporting_20arrangements_20-_20Key_20Stage_202.pdf.pdf - page 8 gives schedule & page 38 gives what info to parents.

and yes this is why parents (including me) are asking why our school held parent/ teacher meetings yesterday at short notice and are sending "Official" KS1/KS2 SATs results home today. Parents who've asked about arranging to discuss SAT results with teacher are being fobbed off we understand - and parents (like me) with younger children are wondering if this is what we'll face next year when our DCs are in Y6.

Schools have "official" KS1 results so can send them home we always wait until we have KS2 before sending anything home

We sent reports home today with Teacher Assessment levels in them.

The thresholds are out next Tues, so we will give the SATs tests results to Parents during our final Parents' Evenings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
