What Do SATs Results mean?
SATs (Standard Assessment Tests) are national tests taken by children at the end of Year 6 (Key Stage 2). They assess children’s knowledge and understanding in English and Maths and help schools and the government measure educational progress.
How are SATs scored?
Children receive a scaled score between 80 and 120.
- 100 or above – working at the expected standard
- Below 100 – below the expected standard
The exact number of marks needed to achieve a scaled score of 100 can vary from year to year, as the difficulty of the tests can differ slightly.
SATs results help schools identify areas where children are doing well and where they may benefit from additional support.

What Our Pupils Have Said
“Saturday School has helped throughout the years, from Year 4 to presently. They have an amazing selection of tutors who go through topics step by step, helping you understand the subject. They also give you mini tests which challenge you to learn new things.”

Wycombe High School
“I’ve been coming here for 9 years since I was five and I have really enjoyed my learning here at the Afro-Caribbean Akacia School. It is a lovely environment to be in. The staff make you feel like one big happy family, helping you, improving you in your studies, caring for your needs and being that extra support that you need. They see your potential and do everything that they can do to help you achieve it.
Akacia School has classes for all ages ranging from Reception to year 6 and an extra class for GCSE maths students. They provide the best teaching in Maths, English and 11+ tutoring. The school has also helped me boost my confidence in my learning. Apart from learning, the school makes sure you are well nourished by providing you with healthy food and drinks at lunch. Everyone at the community are all very friendly and there is the chance to make lots of new friends. In addition, the school often organises trips that the whole school can attend for example, going to see the beautiful parks of Kew Gardens or going to the amazing Science Museums. Overall, I believe that Akacia school is one of the best communities that I attended.”
