Which SATs does your child take?
In England, only the Year 6 tests are statutory. Year 2 tests are optional, so your child’s school decides whether to use them.
Year 6: KS2 SATs
National tests in Maths, English Reading, and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling. Tutors support arithmetic, reasoning, comprehension, spelling and question technique alongside school preparation.
Year 2: KS1 assessments
Where schools use them, Year 2 pupils may sit Reading, Maths and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling papers. Tuition focuses on core skills rather than adding test pressure.
Based on current Standards and Testing Agency guidance for England. Read the KS2 information for parents or the optional KS1 guidance.
Every SATs paper, one skill at a time
Lessons focus on the exact Maths and English skills your child needs most.
Reading comprehension
Retrieval, inference, vocabulary and explaining answers clearly.
Maths arithmetic
Accurate calculation, written methods, fractions, decimals and percentages.
Maths reasoning
Multi-step problems, Maths vocabulary and choosing the right method.
Grammar and punctuation
Terminology, sentence structure and punctuation accuracy.
Spelling
Spelling patterns, vocabulary and proofreading.
Question technique
Reading instructions, managing time and checking answers.
Targeted preparation, without the pressure
Many children know the content but struggle with wording, timing or nerves. Your child’s tutor finds the real barrier, works from school feedback and introduces SATs-style questions gradually, so not every lesson feels like a test.
Test nerves
Familiarity built gradually so papers feel less daunting.
Running out of time
Pacing and fluency practice without losing accuracy.
Careless mistakes
Checking routines and reading what each question asks.
Reading confidence
Longer texts, inference and explaining evidence.
