November 20, 2025

If your child is in Year 6, their SATs exams are coming up in May. The Easter school holiday is a great time to prepare alongside a well-deserved break.

Discover how to help your child use this time effectively to minimise stress and maximise confidence when the SATs come around.

What should we be doing during the Easter holidays to prepare for SATs?

Use this time to focus on topic areas that your child is finding challenging. Set Custom Practice activities in these areas together so that your child can take responsibility for their learning while building their curriculum knowledge.

Set your child a SATs mock test once a week to practise exam technique. This will ensure that your child is confident for the tests.

Don’t forget about science! It’s important to build mastery in science, as well as English and maths as, despite not being assessed in the SATs, your child will likely sit a science test at school.

Remember to review the schedule for test week to ensure that there are no surprises!
