Year 2 SATS and end of year report.

[CrispyFern]

Why would there be a big discrepancy between the SATS grades and the end of year grades?
Like, say everything in the SATS bit was a 2 something and everything in the end of year grade was a 1 something?

I wondered this too...
Interested in seeing some answers.

The SATs level (as in the Teacher Assessed level reported)should correspond to the level in the report

Are schools obliged to give you the SAT results, mrz? My Y2 DD just had the (old) levels on her report and nothing about SATs...

My brother's child is in year 2 and at his school 2 sets of levels were given. One set corresponds to SATS results in May and the other corresponds with end of year assessment in July. which went from a 2a+ in May to a 3 at the end of July. But we are not sure how this fits into the new curriculum when he starts yr 3 though.

By law schools must provide parents with end of Key Stage levels

The tests in Y2 can be taken at any point in the year,unlike the Y6 tests, and the results are used to provide evidence for teacher assessment which is the official level reported. People refer to the end of year level as SATs when in fact there is no such thing

Ah I see, I think! So the xxa/b/c level is end of year and SATs combined?

No the level reported is the teacher assessed level the tests are there only to support the process

So the tests aren't evidence enough alone to show you a capable of reaching a certain level?
Ok, that makes sense.
