Year 5 SATs Papers

Are there SATs in Year 5?

Strictly speaking, no.

However, most schools will run a set of 'SATs-like' assessment tests for Year 5 every May. This will take the form of a 'silent test' in their classroom and the results will be used to track their academic progress.

Some schools will use all (or part) of the Year 5 optional SATs papers for their Year 5 tests.

What are Year 5 Optional SATs Papers?

Year 5 optional SATs papers were written and published several years ago.

Two sets were published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), in 2005 and 2006.

Schools could download these past papers for free or order printed copies from the QCA. Practically every school within the UK would have used these test papers over the past 20 years.

These tests closely mimic SATs tests and were written for schools to use to help monitor children's progress between Year 5 and Year 5, before KS2 SATs in Year 6.

Many schools have used these test papers in the pas KS2 Mathematics 2013 Level 6 Test B - SATs Papers NUNYQ
