SATs results/ year 7 (2011)

Post by inspired2win »

I have heard that the SATs results are used to place children into academical groups/ different levels of working when they get into secondary school.

Does anyone know if this is true? It would also be nice to know what the SATs results are actually used for.

Thanks

My local schools set from the start using Sats but this is usually followed up with CAT tests for refining sets and targets. The local GS does not use Sats for setting but it does use them for working out annual targets.

I think it will vary by region and by school.
