She wants to do them to show Granny how clever she is (grandpa already KNOWS how clever she is aparently!!!) Typically after I spent the money I found where you can download them on line :roll: I may ahve to print the relevent other pages off (having circled the level she is at) and present it to Granny as an “end of KS1 report” just to be facetious.

I do think they are pretty pointless TBH but also I remember doing end of year exams in all subjects at her age. One of the many reasons school and me never made a happy team.

i could rant on for ages, but…
Glad Joe avoiding it so far

I think lots of the tests are multiple choice circle a b or c type things, so even if you can’t write you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting it right! But tbh assessing levels on children who have been prepared for the tests is a bit daft anyway (although haven’t seen a whisper of it in Joe’s Y2 work yet so that’s good). Just don’t get me started on the millions of reasons why SATS at this age are evil.
