Where children lose marks (and how we fix it)
Most pupils don’t struggle because they “don’t know anything”. They lose marks because they answer in the wrong way or miss method marks. We fix the patterns that cost marks—fast.
Reading
Where marks slip
- Vague inference (“He feels sad”) with no evidence
- Copying chunks without explaining
- Weak vocabulary understanding
How we fix it
- Teach the Point → Evidence → Explain structure
- Train pupils to quote correctly and explain the clue
- Build vocabulary with quick weekly routines (not boring lists)
Maths
Where marks slip
- Arithmetic errors from speed + weak checking
- Reasoning questions not broken into steps
- Missing working (so they lose method marks)
How we fix it
- Fast daily accuracy drills + smart checking habits
- A repeatable method: Read → Plan → Solve → Prove
- Teach working that earns marks (not messy scribbles)
SPaG (GPS)
Where marks slip
- Tenses flipping mid-sentence
- Commas, apostrophes, and clauses causing chaos
- Pupils “know the rule” but can’t apply it
How we fix it
- Simple rule teaching + immediate practice
- Spot the error drills (high impact)
- Sentence rewriting to build control and confidence

Popular Questions Before You Join
Clear answers about our timetable, pricing, exam boards and how lessons work.
When are Year 6 SATs in England?
They take place in May, usually across one week. Schools confirm exact dates each year. Most families start structured prep from January onwards.
What is the expected standard in KS2 SATs?
A scaled score of 100 indicates the expected standard. Thresholds for higher performance can vary by year, so the best focus is improving skills and raw marks consistently.
How long is the SATs Reading test?
It’s one paper, 60 minutes, based on a mix of text types. Pupils answer questions that test understanding, inference, vocabulary, and author choices.
How many Maths papers are in KS2 SATs?
There are three papers: Arithmetic (30 minutes) and two Reasoning papers (40 minutes each).
Is online SATs tutoring effective for Year 6?
Yes — if it’s structured. Screen-share practice, live marking, and clear homework routines work extremely well and build independence.
What if my child gets anxious in timed tests?
We start with supportive timing, then gradually build speed and stamina. Confidence usually improves once they know exactly what to do in each question type.
What’s the difference between Arithmetic and Reasoning?
Arithmetic is calculations and accuracy. Reasoning is applying maths to word problems and multi-step situations — and showing working clearly.
What is in the SPaG (GPS) SATs test?
It includes a Grammar & Punctuation paper (45 minutes) plus a spelling test. It covers tenses, sentence structure, punctuation, and vocabulary.
How early should my child start SATs preparation?
If your child is on track, January is usually enough for structured prep. If there are bigger gaps, earlier is better — but consistency matters more than starting extremely early.
How can I help my child at home without pressure?
Keep it simple: daily reading, short maths practice, and one timed task per week. Praise effort and improvements — not just scores. Avoid long sessions that cause burnout.
How do you track progress during SATs tutoring?
We use baseline tasks and regular mini-checks so you can see movement in weak areas. If progress stalls, we adjust the plan quickly.
