Importance of SATs for Your Child


While it may feel like the main purpose of SATs is to benefit the school and provide the government with data, for your child, SATs represent an important milestone in their educational journey.


Recognition of Achievement: Performing well in SATs can give your child a sense of accomplishment and boost their confidence. It acknowledges the hard work and effort they have put in over the years.


Preparation for Future Tests: SATs are often one of your child's first formal exams. This experience can help them develop test-taking skills and strategies that will be valuable in secondary school and beyond.


"Preparing for my SATs with the help of Primrose KItten made a huge difference for me. The study tips and practice exercises were really helpful, and I felt more confident every day. When I got my SATs results, I was so proud of what I had achieved. This made me feel ready and excited about moving to secondary school. Knowing that I had done well in my SATs gave me a lot of confidence, and I can't wait to take on new challenges and opportunities in my new school!"

Transition to Secondary School: SATs results provide secondary schools with a baseline understanding of each student's academic level. This can help ensure that your child receives appropriate support and challenge as they move to their next education stage. 


By analysing patterns and correlations between KS2 SATs scores and subsequent GCSE outcomes, educators can set realistic academic targets and tailor their teaching strategies to support individual learning needs. 


This predictive approach helps in planning interventions and allocating resources effectively, aiming to enhance overall student achievement and ensuring a smoother educational progression from primary to secondary education. This may lead to some schools giving out predicted GCSE grades in year 7.


A personal note from Jen: Some schools will give out GCSE results solely based on KS2 SATs data, and some don't. The approach will differ between schools. Please remember that if they give you predicted GCSE grades in year 7 and you're not happy with them, there is lots of time to work on these and many resources out there to help. Please don't let the prediction cause you or your child any stress.
