What your child works on

Each paper rewards slightly different skills, so lessons are built around all of them.

  • Arithmetic: quick, accurate written methods, so the arithmetic paper banks easy marks.
  • Maths reasoning: reading a problem carefully, choosing a method and showing the working.
  • Reading: finding evidence in a text and explaining it in your child’s own words.
  • Grammar, punctuation and spelling: the terms and rules the test asks for, practised until they stick.
  • Timing and confidence: past-paper practice so the real papers in May hold no surprises.

Key Stage 2 SATs, explained for parents

SATs are the national tests children in England sit in May of Year 6. There are papers in English reading, in grammar, punctuation and spelling, and in maths: one arithmetic paper and two reasoning papers. Writing is assessed by your child’s teacher rather than by a test.

Results are reported as scaled scores from 80 to 120, where 100 means your child has met the expected standard. Secondary schools receive the results, and some use them alongside their own assessments when they first place pupils into sets.

Why prepare at all?

SATs shouldn’t be a source of stress, and good preparation is what keeps them from becoming one. A child who is secure in the basics and familiar with the papers sits them calmly. That same security in reading, writing and number is what they carry into Year 7.

From first lesson to exam day.

Lessons are live and online, so there’s no traffic to fight after school.

When are the Year 6 SATs?
Key Stage 2 SATs take place in May of Year 6, across one week. Your child’s school will confirm the exact dates.
What do the SATs scores mean?
Each test gives a scaled score between 80 and 120. A score of 100 or more means your child has met the expected standard for the end of primary school.
Can my child prepare for SATs and the 11+ together?
Yes. Both fall in Years 5 and 6 and draw on the same core reading, grammar and maths skills, so we often plan them side by side.
When should SATs tuition start?
Many families start in Year 5 or early in Year 6. Starting earlier means more time to close gaps steadily instead of cramming in the spring term.
Is it 1-to-1 or a group?
Either. One-to-one gives the most tailored pace; small groups of up to eight add discussion and peer contact. We’ll help you choose at the free trial.
