Our chat with Sophie morphed into a marathon conversation, so we are back with week with part 2 that is all about the Key Stage 2 SATs.
Sophie is a SATs data guru and talks us through past patterns and what we are likely to see this year. She shares some super insight into what's needed to pass the tests & what to prioritise.
We talk more deeply about whether testing in general is worthwhile, and the cons to the papers.
We also discuss the open secret in education that is the sheer amount of schools who cheat when it comes to the tests.
Teachers being told to tell children when they've got a question wrong, opening test packs early, or even outright doing questions for the children... You name it, it's happened.
