Lea Pearson, chief psychologist and adviser for assessment and achievement, City of Brimingham, and adviser to CATS, one of the three agencies which developed standard assessment taks (SATs) at Key Stage 1, describes this summer's pilot testing. Although the contracts for next summer's SATs at Key Stage 1 have now gone to the NFER consortium, the experiences she describes and the lessons learnt should be relevant to teachers taking part in the national pilot next May.
