SATs papers are the statutory tests taken by primary school children to test their knowledge of the national curriculum, as well as monitor the school’s progress as a whole.

Your child will sit a set of SATs exams in key stage 1, when they’re in year 2 and around 6-7 years old.

SATs are taken during the summer school term, generally in May of each year.
