Concerned about year 5 child (Year 6 sats related)?

[emmxx]

My ds is in year 5. To prepare for sats next year I have bought a few sats tests.
So far he completed about 3, his score in all tests in maths, reading and grammar and spelling are between 103 and 107.
I am really concerned with these results. What can I do to help him improve his results? Should I get a tutor?

I don't understand why you are worried. Whynwould you expect your year 5 child to be getting higher marks in some practice year 6sats tests? I'd ease off anext not stress about it at this stage.

1. What are the scores? If scaled scores, they are all above expected-which is good considering he has another year of schooling to go
2. Why are you concerned
3. Why are you preparing for SATS now?
4. Why on earth would you want to tutor for SATS?

Why on earth are you starting this now?

Have school got any concerns about his progress in class?

Bloody hell, step away from the practice sats, he is in year 5!

Why bother? These tests will have literally zero impact on his life. They're not aimed at testing him, they test the teaching. Whilst ruining the self esteem of 10 and 11 year olds.

Way too early to be stressing about it. Blimey. Let him enjoy his primary school days without extra sats practice! It's a whole year away.

Sats are a reflection of the school not your child.
I would encourage your child to read the top 25 books for 9-11 year olds, get him to write something everyday (even if it is 2 sentences about what he has done) and practise mental maths regularly.
This will give him a better grounding for secondary school than the artificial sats tests.

I finding it hard to believe anyone buying practice SATs papers for their year 5 child doesn't know that those results are above the threshold for the expected standard in a child a year older.

1. Those scores are great for a year 6 child so you should be chuffed.

1. Please don't start pressuring him like this. SATs are bad enough without you doing this to him.

please stop it now. Do what MrsPnut said instead.
Anyway is this some kind of boast?

He's scored above the levels expected of a year 6, a year early.

Doing SATS practise now is bonkers.

He'll be so bored of SATS paper in Year 6, really don't make him do any more ...

Plus he won't have covered the whole syllabus (especially for maths and SPAG) yet. You can't expect him to get questions right for things he doesn't know yet.

Stop it.

He's going to be doing more than enough SATs practice in year 6, why start that nightmare before you have to? He still has a year of curriculum to learn anyway!

SATs results have ZERO affect on your child's life. They're about measuring schools. Secondary schools will do their own testing and use teacher reports for setting.

Stop being a pushy parent, or at least direct your pushiness towards something useful
