St Herbert's RC Primary School


Class 4

Welcome to Class 4!

Our class is made up of wonderful Year 2 children who love learning.

Parents/carers will be able to follow their children's progress throughout the school year.  Please follow our school Twitter feed which shows the brilliant work/activities we will be doing.  The Twitter feed contains images and videos of work created by the students and teacher updates.

Please find below a copy of the newsletter for Class 4. Inside you will find lots of relevant information linked to Year 2 such as SAT’S, homework and reading days.

Year 2 SATS 

Your child’s teacher is responsible for judging the standards your child is working at in English reading, English writing and Mathematics, by the end of Key Stage 1. To help inform those judgements, pupils sit national curriculum tests in English and Mathematics, commonly called SATs. They may also sit an optional test in English grammar, punctuation and spelling.

The tests are a tool for teachers to help them measure your child’s performance and identify their needs as they move into Key Stage 2. They also allow teachers to see how your child is performing against national expected standards. The tests can be taken any time during May and they are not strictly timed. Pupils may not even know they are taking them as many teachers will incorporate them into everyday classroom activities.

Teachers will use the results from these tests, along with the work your child has done throughout the year, to help them reach their own judgements about how your child is progressing at the end of Key Stage 1.  These teacher assessment judgements will be reported to you by the end of the Summer Term.

Parents will be invited to a meeting in the Spring Term, which will hopefully settle any worries or queries regarding these tests.
