The KS2 SATs in May of Year 6 are your child's first formal national assessments, and a strong result builds the confidence and momentum that carry into secondary school.

Our SATs tuition in East London prepares Year 6 children thoroughly but calmly — in small classes of no more than four with two-hour lessons — across all three assessed areas, with plenty of timed practice so the format feels familiar long before exam week.
