SATs (Standard Assessment Tests)

SATs, or Standard Assessment Tests, are standardized exams taken by students at certain key stages in their education, typically in primary school. They are designed to assess students' understanding and skills in core subjects like English and mathematics. The results help teachers and parents evaluate a child's progress, identify areas needing improvement, and ensure they are on track academically. These tests are usually administered at specific grades or ages and provide a standardized measure to compare performance across students and schools. They inform educational planning but do not determine a student's overall ability or future success.
