SATs 2026

Year 6 SATs week will begin Monday 11th May 2026 and end on Thursday 14th May 2026. The purpose of SATs is to measure children's attainment in maths, reading, and grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS). The data from these tests will provide vital information about your child’s attainment, support the transition to secondary schools, and identify where additional support is best targeted to individuals.

Please do not book any holidays during this week. Thank you in advance for your support.
