SATS
What are SATs?
Children in Year 6 complete a number of National tests (SATs) each year. These tests take place during the month of May, with the tests spread out across the week, by children across the country, and they allow schools to check the attainment and progress of each child in English and Maths.
SATs Timetable 2024 – 2025
The key stage 2 tests are timetabled from Monday 12th May to Thursday 15th May 2025.
When are Year 6 SATs Results released?
Although the SATs dates for 2025 are in May, the test results are not released until towards the end of the summer term. This is because even though the SATs tests are taken within the classroom, they are marked externally.
Once the results have been returned, parents are given a report that shows their child’s raw score (the actual number of marks they got), their scaled score (which is scaled to 120 and allows for comparison with all other children across the country who took the same test), and whether or not they have achieved the national standard.
