Will there be ks1 sats next year do is this the last year?

[Heels99]

Does anyone know, I asked at school and they didn't know and HT wasn't available

Thanks

As far as I know the current year 1 will be the last cohort taking them next year at the end of their year 2.

Yes there will be KS1 SATs next year and 7 new ones to look forward to in 2016

May I ask Mrz what form the new tests will take in 2016? My daughter is in that cohort. Or is that still unclear. Many thanks. Brooke

mrz is probably recovering from her school trip (hope weather held for you) so I'll chip in to answer Brooke94 -
KS1 Tests from 2016

There will be
2 maths papers
1 arithmetic
2 Mathematical fluency, solving problems and reasoning

2 reading tests
1 Reading booklet with reading questions and answer space combined
2 Reading booklet with associated answer booklet (a selection of texts,
800 – 1100 words)

3 Grammar, spelling anf punctuation tests

1 grammar and punctuation: short task written
2 grammar, punctuation and vocabulary: questions
3 spelling

Thank you both so much.
