What are Year 6 SATs?

SATs is the common abbreviation for Standard Assessment Tests which are also referred to as National Curriculum Tests. These tests are used to show how each child is progressing compared with other children. They are taken at the end of School Years 2 & 6.

KEY STAGE 1

The SATs for Key Stage 1 take place throughout May in Year 2 (at the end of infants’ school). Each child is assessed by a teacher in reading, writing (including spelling and handwriting), maths (including number, shape, space and measurement) and science. The class teacher sets short pieces of work in English and maths to judge each child’s ability.

KEY STAGE 2

The Key Stage 2 SATs are more formal than the assessments used at Key Stage 1 and consist of a combination of tests and teacher assessments. The tests taken in Year 6 cover the three core subjects, English (reading, writing including handwriting, and spelling), maths and science. These tests are taken on set days in mid-May and are designed to test pupils’ knowledge and understanding. Depending on which tests individual children sit, the tests take between four and seven and half hours to complete. The teacher assessment covers English, maths and science and is moderated by the local authority.

How long has Talent Engaged Tuition been operating?

Talent Engaged Tuition has been successfully providing top quality tutoring services to the local communities since November 2012.

Which days and times are the lessons?

Our lessons run on weekday evenings from 4.30-9pm and 10-4pm on weekends. Once we have completed the initial assessment & consultation, your child will be allocated to suitable classes based on their age and academic ability. Students are split into groups, like sets in schools. We have a number of groups available during the weekday evenings and weekends.

Do you offer 1-1 or Group lessons?

We offer options of both.

How much do lessons cost?

We do our best to offer customers value for money. We have a variety of packages available based on the number of subjects and lessons you enroll on too. An average hourly cost is around £15ph.

Do you use qualified tutors?

All our tutors are fully qualified to teach the lessons they cover. Some of our tutors are qualified teachers teach at schools and others are trained tutors highly qualified in their field. Our tutors are qualified from top British universities. All tutors at Talent Engaged Tuition undergo rigorous tutor training prior to teaching students and also receive regular training to ensure top quality teaching is provided to our students.

How many students are there in a class?

We have an average of 6 students per class, with a maximum of 9. This means that each student gets that individual attention every lesson because our tutors can spend adequate time with each student. We understand that although students should be challenged, they should not feel rushed and there should be plenty of time allowed to make sure they fully understand everything they are being taught.

How long will it take for me to see results in my child's progression?

This is a question that truly reflects on each individual student and how much contribution to homework, classwork and revision they are willing to undertake. More or less, all of the students at Talent Engaged Tuition are dedicated and passionate students who want to learn and want to do well and are supported strongly by their families. We believe in pushing students and getting them to meet their true potential and beyond. On average, we have noticed that students can move up an academic level in about 6-8 months of joining. We are here for your child to progress!
