SATs, which stands for Standard Assessment Tests, are taken twice during primary school, once in year 1 and then again in year 6 – this is so that the DofE can measure and monitor the performance in primary schools accordingly.
The DofE found that nationally 62 per cent of students met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths which was up by one per cent from the previous year.
