Most years, covid permitted, children take their SATs tests at the beginning of May.
The test usually consist of:
- A reading comprehension paper
- A spelling, grammar and punctuation paper
- Three maths papers
There are no longer writing tests as children’s levels will be determined by teacher assessment of their written work over the whole year.
