My daughter recently completed her KS2 SATS and did remarkably well, achieving only one point short of full marks across the board. I would consider myself to have been very supportive in the build-up to the tests and would often go through revision with her. I was absolutely astounded to see some of the questions on the papers which were things I’m sure I only learnt at GCSE level. Our children are being pushed harder than ever. This prompted me to write a little post to test my readers’ knowledge. This is particularly useful for those whose children are yet to sit their KS2 SATS, so you can get a feel for what’s expected of year 6 pupils in England.
So, could you pass your KS2 SATS?
