About the author Working in primary education for over a decade and a full-time classroom teacher since 2019, these resources are made with experience teaching upper KS2, including Year 6 and SATs preparation. I have achieved strong outcomes with pupils, including some of the highest results for SATs within the trust I worked in. My resources are designed using analysis of previous SATs papers, focusing on the question formats and content domains that appear most frequently and where pupils typically need the most practice, particularly inference, retrieval, and vocabulary.
