New Arrivals and KS2 SATs
Bhupinder Gill
Dear all
I am not sure if newly arrived pupils can be disapplied from SATs. I thought that they could sit the tests unless they were going to be traumatised by them and use of translator could only happen if it was regular practice. Can the results be left out of school data?
The latest information that I can find is on the link below.
Any helpful information will be greatly appreciated

11.5 Discounting children’s results from performance tables - KS2 A small number of children may be discounted from calculation of a school’s performance measures before publication of the performance tables. These will be children who have recently arrived from overseas with little or no English. To be eligible, a child must meet all three of the following criteria:
1. they were admitted to an English school for the first time during the 2011/12 or 2012/13 school year;
2. they arrived from overseas before their admission; and
3. their first language is not English. Dialects of English such as Patois or Krio will not be accepted as a language other than English.

I hope this is helpful.
