Year 6 SATS Information

Key Stage 2 SATS tests will take place in the week commencing 12th May 2025. Parents are asked to ensure that their child is in attendance for this week and avoid all absences in the preceding weeks to help with revision.

A full programme of in-school revision sessions will commence in the Spring term 2025. Separate communication has already been sent to parents in regards to this.

Revision resources

All Year 6 pupils will be issued with an English and a Maths revision booklet published by CGP. These are being loaned by school to help pupils prepare. We ask that they are not written in and then they will need to be returned to school after the SATS tests have been taken in May. The guides give a thorough coverage of the knowledge and skills the children will need to take their SATS, explaining the concepts and terminology, as well as presenting some key questions to check pupil understanding. The SATS papers are a test of all learning from across Key Stage 2 (Year 3 to 6) and so learning from the past four years will be tested on each paper.

In addition to these revision book being provided, listed below are some additional resources that may be of use to you as your child prepares for their SATS. The list below is by no means exhaustive but it is designed to help parents access relevant additional materials to help with revision.

Young Minds - support around exams and revision

Here are two really useful resources about how to place SATS into perspective, how to encourage your child to feel confident about themselves coming up to the tests and how to support them in preparing for SATS week.
