    Yes they are because I have experienced my Sats just a couple of days ago they may sound stressing however I personally think this is the only way for our future teachers to track our record and to make our learning/education as fun and special they can make it.

  2. Myiesha S.

    I think yesterday SATs are important because it sees how well you have been and wich stage you are going to be in your next school.
    SATs test how good you have learnt over the years.
    This is my opinion because my brother had just finished his SATs and he is really enthusiastic in passing.
    SATs sound stressful but when you are doing you SATs it feels like you are going to pass.

    I believe that there shouldn’t be SATs because throughout the year we do many tests and the work that is set by our teachers is reflective of where we’re at. Also, SATs causes a lot of stress and it could negatively affect your self-esteem.

    No- At such a young age children can get stressed and feel unnecessary. This can affect a child’s mental wellbeing.
    Also SATs only assess core subjects. However we feel that some children are talented in other areas of the curriculum. This can lower a child’s self esteem.

    Yes- Secondary schools are aware of your strengths and weaknesses. They are then able to support you accordingly.
    It also prepares you for future tests and exams such as GCSEs.

    Most of 4 Blue agree that SATs are good because:
    – It shows what you remember from learning in primary school
    – It prepares you for secondary school and helps new schools know what class you should be in
    – It shows who was paying attention in school
    – It shows how much progress you have made since the Year 2 SATs and all through school
    – Teachers can see who can apply their learning in new or different ways
