Whilst not working to the same curriculum,
Key Stage 2 SATs from 2015 (and before) are still useful to aid preparation.
We recommend you download and use every spelling test from this period and ensure you use the spelling test audio too.
These multiple-choice tests in English and Maths are really useful for preparing towards their KS2 SATs.
We recommend using practice SATs papers at home

Each school’s results will be made available to their headteachers in July 2025 via the NCA tools website. Parents will be given their child’s scaled score (and sometimes raw score too) around this period with a note to say whether they achieved the expected standard, exceeded it or fell below it.
