More than one way to learn. The right format for what today needs.

Start with the lesson when the method needs explaining, practise while it is fresh, take the test for the star, then sit a full paper when focus matters.

  • Lessons that do the explaining

    Over 300 voiced lessons across all five SATs papers, 51 topics, each at three levels. Captions on, with pause and replay, so the explaining isn't down to you.

    How SATs Academy works
  • Practice on just that topic

    Questions on the topic they have just watched, so they do it themselves while the method is fresh.

    Explore practice
  • A short test and a star

    Pass the short test at a level and they win its star, so you can both see what's done. Stars fade if a topic isn't practised for a while, so gaps are easy to spot.

  • Mock papers with written feedback

    71 full mock papers, sat just like the real test. Their marks come back with written feedback: what went well and one thing to practise next.

  • The Arcade, for another way in

    Games, leagues and daily challenges for when they want a change from a lesson. Standard and Family have no daily limit on games.

All five KS2 SATs papers: Arithmetic, Reasoning, Grammar and punctuation, Spelling and Reading. SATs Academy teaches them in over 300 voiced lessons across 51 topics, each at three levels: Working Towards, Expected and Greater Depth.

Is it only arcade games?

No. The headline feature is SATs Academy: voiced lessons, practice on just that topic, a short test for every level and 71 full mock papers. The games, leagues and daily challenges have their own page, The Arcade, for when your child wants another way in.

What information do you collect about my child?

We ask for a first name and year group, then store answers and scores needed to run the learning experience. We do not ask for a child’s surname, school, date of birth, photo, location or phone number.

Does it support children who need a calmer experience?

Practice is untimed by default. Lessons have captions, and your child can pause and replay any part. The product also includes accessibility preferences such as dyslexia-friendly text, colour support and reduced motion.

Give tonight’s practice a better starting point. Let the lesson explain.
