What is SATs Companion?

A team of teachers and headteachers, based in SW London, developed an online system to cover the new KS2 and Year 6 SATs curriculum for English and Maths.

Our innovative online platform was designed, based on research, to address the key challenges teachers, pupils and parents are facing for the KS2 SATs.

The core issues we overcame were: lack of curriculum resources based on the new question styles, to reduce teacher workload through data, planning and marking, provide effective GAP analysis with positive pupil & teacher impact. Lastly, to provide excellent value for money for schools during a budget crisis.

Our vision is for every Year 6 pupil to achieve and excel beyond the expected standard for Maths & English, to ensure they are Secondary school ready.

Lyng Primary School, England

Used SATs Companion daily for 3-4 years

Jul 2023

As a school, we have found the breadth and depth of content on SATS companion perfect for revising and providing interventions that prepare our Y6 children for SATS.

Mia Watson found SATs Companion:
  • Saves school money
    Fewer interventions and catch-up interventions purchased in Y6.
  • Reduces teacher workload
    When using SATS companion in class, workload is reduced because relevant videos provide test style questions for the children at an age-appropriate challenging level and the follow up independent work is also provided through the online tasks which can be scheduled in advance.
  • Improves teaching efficiency
    Finding online or creating new appropriate SATS style questions can often be laborious. However, SATS companions ready made tasks that are domain and objective specific ensure that children are challenged appropriately and never face the same SATS question. This means that the children are well and truly accessing their retrieval of knowledge and understanding rather than just remembering answers.
  • Improves attainment
    Using SATS companion as the driver for our catch-up sessions and after school booster clubs has enabled children to achieve EXS in their SATS assessments.

It is a great resource. I am still fairly new to it so not probably using it to its full potential.

Liz found SATs Companion:
  • Saves school money
    Activities are online so there is a reduction in photocopying. Use of SATs Companion instead of purchasing published revision books.
  • Reduces teacher workload
    Used for homework activities - really quick and easy to set. No marking as children receive immediate feedback. If a child or group requires a specific intervention, the resources can be located quickly.
  • Improves teaching efficiency
    Work can be set to support a lesson. Videos used to introduce topics to the whole class then bespoke tasks for specific children or groups. If a child needs additional practice on a topic, this can be set quickly. Reports clearly show who has or has not grasped a concept.
  • Improves attainment
    Difficult to separate from high quality teaching.
