Performance in One Day

The Challenge Every Primary School Faces

Key Stage 2 SATs place significant demands on Year 6 pupils. They must demonstrate mastery across multiple English and Mathematics skills in a formal testing environment—often their first experience of high-stakes assessment. Your pupils may be struggling with different aspects: some find reading comprehension challenging, others struggle with arithmetic fluency, while your most able pupils need extension to achieve greater depth. With the breadth of content to cover across English and Mathematics and the pressure of SATs preparation, it’s exceptionally difficult to provide the targeted support each pupil needs to overcome their specific barriers to success.

Our Solution: Intensive Skills-Focused Interventions

Our Key Stage 2 SATs programme delivers concentrated learning that accelerates progress. We offer comprehensive support covering key areas across both English and Mathematics. Each intensive day is entirely SATs-focused, giving pupils the targeted practice they need to overcome specific barriers to success.

Comprehensive Support Across the KS2 Curriculum

Our programmes are designed to target the specific content domains and question types featured in the SATs papers, while developing the core skills essential for success. Whether focusing on Reading, Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS), or Mathematics, our tailored interventions deliver measurable results within a single intensive day.

Flexible Approach to Target Your Needs

Our Primary SATs programme can be tailored to your pupils’ specific requirements. The content is carefully aligned with the National Curriculum and SATs test frameworks, ensuring complete relevance to what pupils will face in their assessments. We can weave your case studies, book studies or cross-curricular projects into our course, creating a seamless connection between our intervention and your existing curriculum.

English and Mathematics Support

We offer targeted programmes for both core subjects:

English:

• Reading Comprehension Mastery – Techniques for tackling different question types across fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts
• Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Focus – Systematic coverage of word classes, sentence structures and punctuation rules
• Vocabulary Development – Strategies for understanding unfamiliar words in context and inferring meaning

Mathematics:

• Arithmetic Fluency – Fast-paced practice with calculation methods for all operations, fractions and percentages
• Mathematical Reasoning – Problem-solving approaches for multi-step questions and word problems
• Topics in Focus – Targeted intervention on challenging areas such as fractions, ratio and proportion

SATs Technique and Strategy Mastery

Our SATs preparation programme focuses on the critical elements needed for success:

What makes this programme 100% SATs-focused:

• Direct examination of mark schemes – Pupils analyse exactly what examiners reward for different question types
• Time management techniques – Structured approaches to completing papers within the allocated time
• Question interpretation skills – Ensuring pupils understand precisely what each question requires
• Worked examples – Step-by-step modelling of effective approaches to different question types
• Common misconceptions – Identification and correction of typical errors
• Guided practice with authentic SATs questions – Pupils apply techniques to actual past paper questions, receiving immediate feedback

How We’re Different

SATs focus from start to finish. Unlike general intervention, every minute of our day directly connects to SATs success. Pupils practise with real SATs questions, analyse mark schemes, and understand exactly how to improve their performance.

Immediate measurement. Each day starts with a diagnostic assessment using past SATs questions and ends with pupils completing similar questions, giving you concrete evidence of improvement and a clear measure of progress.

Active skills application throughout. Pupils don’t just learn content—they immediately apply it to SATs-style questions, receive feedback, and refine their approach. No passive learning or activities that don’t directly support SATs performance.

Proven Results

Schools report that pupils typically gain weeks of regular progress in our single-day sessions. More importantly, pupils leave with concrete strategies they can immediately apply in their SATs preparation.

“The Reading Comprehension day transformed our pupils’ approach to inference questions. They finally understood how to structure their responses effectively, and our practice test results improved dramatically as a result.” – A Year 6 Teacher, “Birmingham Primary Academy”
