SATS are, as they say a snapshot.
My daughter didn't get any 5s, partly because she's an end of August bday, partly because she's terrible in exams. She is going to grammar school and her teachers say that although she may not fly high she will be fine because she works hard.
I try not to focus on these test scores - you know your child.

My daughter just got her end of year report, she is year 5 she has all 5c's and a reading age of 15 years 10 months! her spelling is exceptional yet we have been advised she is borderline for grammer? I am so confused should i push her to pass or let her be top of a non selective school. I do think its hard for parents.
I think you are entitled to ask the school at this point in what sense she was determined (and buy whom) to be borderline. The above description hardly fits the definition of a borderline child.
