SATS results - for year 6..are they out yet?

[Eve]

School can't say when these are due, other than soon hopefully.

..but I have seen some facebook comments today on Sats... they out.

Pixie: Hmm. He's KS1 so the most they would allow him to achieve was level 3?
Ds's teacher said she had written him down as a level 6.

His teacher assessment maybe isn't helpful, she's only been teaching his class for 3 weeks, prior to this she taught him maths. His teacher is on maternity leave now but has written his report/notes for new teacher.

Ds's test results were higher than his teacher assesment. But I know that the secondary he will go to retests all Y7 pupils for most of Y7. I think they use the SAT results and the teacher assesment as a rough guide as to where to stream the children upon arrival and then pretty soon make their own minds up once they have seen what said pupils can do.

Ds was predicted 4b's in both and has managed to get a 4a in Literacy and a 5 in Maths. Am pleased
(end of August birthday and workshy chatterbox so this is a good result)

Belle, the teacher assessment would have been built up over the year, not just from the 3 weeks his new teacher had taught him.

He is in KS2, this was the result I recieved today, it just said level 5 in all areas but his teacher said she put him down as level 6.

Strange they didn't report both at the same time.

Well done your ds

I think they've always done SATS. Ds is just ds, I tend to not worry about them. When he did the SATS for KS1 he wasn't allowed to go any higher then level 3. There's always a ceiling on it, it seems unfair.

Shouldn't be - it was teacher assessment in 2005 and they could have assessed him as a 4.

I wish teachers would make their minds up.

Those are the rules! You might just as well just wish that teachers would adhere to them properly

Yup.
