Malmesbury C of E Primary School SATs Results
A Standard Assessment Task (SAT) is a national test that is taken by all children in mainstream state primary schools at the end of Key Stage 2 (age 11).
Pupils take tests in Reading, Maths and in Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling. In addition, teachers assess their writing against clearly defined criteria. Pupils are assessed at one of four levels: working below the key stage standard (PKF), working towards the expected standard (WTS), working at the expected standard (EXS) or working at greater depth within the expected standard (GDS).
Every year schools must publish how their children have performed. Below are the test results from 2026 and 2025.
