Sats.
At the end of each key stage, your child’s teacher will formally assess their sats performance. This assessment or sats test is used along with the national tests to measure your child’s progress. Of course, your child’s teacher will be informally assessing their sats learning at other times, in order to plan future teaching. They might, for example, listen to your child read or look at their maths work. Some schools will also use optional sats tests to assess children’s progress.
National Curriculum levels. The National Curriculum is divided into eight levels. At Key Stage 1 the school will send you a report telling you what level your child is working at. The level will be based on the teacher's assessment and will take into account results from national tests and tasks.At Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3, the school will send you a report telling you what National Curriculum level your child has reached in the ‘end of key stage’ tests and teacher assessments.
‘End of key stage’ sats tests, at the end of Key Stage 2 and key stage 3 your child will take national tests. The tests – which children can’t ‘fail’ - are intended to show if your child is working at, above or below the target levels for their age, so that the right plans can be made for their future learning.
Key Stage 1 teacher assessments, tasks and sats tests Teacher assessment for seven year olds covers: reading, writing, speaking, and listening, Maths, Science. These assessments take account of how your child performed in Key Stage 1 tasks and tests for seven year olds covering: reading, writing, handwriting, spelling, Maths. The tasks and tests can be taken at a time the school chooses. They last for less than three hours altogether. The teacher assessment is moderated by your local authority. This is to make sure teachers make consistent assessments of children’s work.

Key Stage 2 most will be at level 4. At the end of Key Stage 1 and key stage 2 your child will take national tests.

The Primary National Strategy (PNS) grew out of the National Numeracy and Literacy Strategies. The main focus of the Strategy is on raising literacy and numeracy skills among primary school children.
