2021 SATs
In 2021, SATs tests were given to children in Year 2 (KS1 SATs) and Year 6 (KS2 SATs).
2021 KS2 SATs
The 2021 KS2 SATs will take place in the week commencing 10th May 2021. The tests took place over four days.
Children in Year 6 (those aged 10-11 or those born between September 2008 and August 2009 inclusive) will take these tests in their normal school classrooms (in the UK). SATs papers will be taken in Maths, Reading and SPaG under formal exam conditions. These papers will be marked externally whilst separate teacher assessments in Writing and Science will be marked by their teachers.
Unlike 2020, the KS2 SATs in 2021 will not include a separate KS2 Science 'sampling' SATs paper. Instead all Science assessments will be handled internally by individual schools.
2021 will be the fifth year of 'new-style' SATs tests under the new national curriculum.
To help prepare children for the 2021 KS2 SATs, children were able to download the 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016 papers free of charge. Whilst not working to the same curriculum, KS2 SATs Papers from 2015 (and before) are still useful to aid preparation. InStock 0 GBP 2019-08-01
