Your child needs to be competent and confident to undergo their SATs.

We all know how stressful exam times can be, but with a little help, and interactive resources, we feel that your child will walk into their exam feeling able to cope with the pressures of the exam. Like I mentioned above, we have created other revision guides to help you and your child through the exam process. Take a look at our Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling guide, and our Reading and Comprehension guide. Both these guides break down each element of the English SAT, which will allow your child to fully understand and engage with different topics discussed.

THE KEY SKILLS FOR THE ENGLISH ASSESSMENT

During their academic life, children from the age of 7 will undergo many exams and assessments. Whilst assessments in Key stage 2 are not considered extremely important, they do provide a guideline as to the progress of each individual child. During the Key Stage 2 English SAT, children will undergo papers that will assess particular skills and abilities. Below, we have broken this down to give you some indication as to what is expected from your child during their SATs.
