The Year 6 papers are done for another year. Whether you're already looking ahead to next May or just want to know where your child stands now, we've added a handful of free tools and guides to help — no account needed for any of them.
All KS2 parents — know what to revise first
The hard part of revision isn't doing it; it's knowing where to start. Mark how confident your child feels in each topic and this tool puts them in order, shakiest and most important first, with a practice link for each.

Year 6 parents — is your child ready?
Nine quick questions across maths, reading and grammar give you a readiness snapshot, a subject-by-subject breakdown, and the next step for anything that needs work. Encouraging, never a pass-or-fail verdict.

All parents — a quick read on their reading
A short passage and five questions give you an honest sense of whether your child is reading around the expected Year 6 level. It's a guide, not a formal reading age — and it tells you which skill to practise next.

Where children lose marks — and how to fix it
Three new guides cover the mistakes children make most: the add-the-denominators fraction slip, mixing up retrieval and inference in reading, the its/it's trap in grammar. Each one has the fix and a small thing to try at home tonight.

Year 6 parents — everything in one place
A new Year 6 revision hub pulls the whole year together: what's in each paper, how scaled scores work, and where to begin — one page to anchor the year.

All the official SATs links, in one place
Dates, past papers, access arrangements, how scaled scores are worked out — the official GOV.UK guidance is scattered across government websites. We've gathered the lot, with a plain-English line on what each is for.

Good preparation shouldn't depend on buying anything. These are all free, and they'll still be here when you need them.
