Our preparation programmes support students at both stages with concept building, topic practice, timed assessments, exam-style questions and personalised feedback.
Schools in England can choose to use optional Year 2 KS1 national curriculum tests in English Reading, Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling, and Mathematics. These assessments are designed to support understanding of a child’s progress and have been optional rather than statutory since the 2023–24 academic year.
Assesses
For Year 6, KS2 SATs are statutory national curriculum tests taken at the end of Key Stage 2. They assess students in English Reading, Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling, and Mathematics, including Arithmetic and Reasoning papers.
