My son just announced he wanted to do some Sats practice....wanting to encourage this I have just spent ages trying to find some practice sheets/games on the net that you don't have to register or pay for....Have just given up and told him to play a computer game instead?! Any tips should he show such interest again?!

I believe new nstional tests are no longer produced each year. Schools have past papers for a few years 2005 onwards and decide themselves which one to use, marking it themselves. Hence those papers are not available on the web

Hi Cora,

I'm a year 4 Primary school teacher. I'm assuming your child is in Year 4? (or going into year 4 from Sept)

Anyway, in Year 3 and 4 there are Optional Sats Papers- I'm sure there are websites which offer free downloads. (let me know if you have difficulty finding them I'm sure I have some on a memory stick somewhere)

It doesn't matter which date they are from. The main downfall for children during SATS is not answering the qestions properly.

Simply getting your child to read the qestions properly and have practise answering different questioning is good preparation!

HOpe that helps?

Anna

Just re-ready your comment.. the papers are 8 years old, not your child! oops


SATs are pretty much being done away with anyway. This is the last real year and even then they were optional. The schools don't have to accept the grade given if they decided to get them externally marked. This said, I believe it is still useful to have as much experience of answering different questioning as they will experience this during teacher assessment and later on in secondary school anyway.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
