TheSchoolRun.com closure date

As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.

As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.

In particular, we suggest downloading:

You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.

We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Optional SATs papers: Y4 maths 2006

Optional SATs papers: Y4 maths 2006
Revise Year 4 maths skills and knowledge with an official optional SATs past paper, free to download for some at-home practice.
Keystage:  KS2, Year 4

In some schools prior to 2016, children were given optional SATs in Years 3, 4 and 5 to test their knowledge and progress. To reflect the new National Curriculum, SATs changed in 2016.

These are the 'old-style' optional SATs papers, but can still be used to give your child exam practice.

This pack includes:

  • Y4 maths SATs 2006 paper 4a (levels 2-3)
  • Mental maths pupil answer sheet
  • Y4 maths SATs 2006 paper 4b (levels 3-4)
  • Mental maths test transcript
  • Mark scheme

All the papers and marking materials have been merged into one easy download.

Paper 4a or Paper 4b?

A choice of two test papers is available, depending on your child's ability (some of the questions are the same for both papers). If your Y4 child finds maths challenging they should complete Paper A. If your child is confident about maths they should take Paper B. For more about understanding SATs results see our parent's guide.

Official SATs in KS1 and KS2

For information about SATs for Y2 children read our beginner's guide, Your KS1 SATs questions answered. To download KS2 (Year 6) official SATs papers, and read about how the assessments are changing in 2016 and beyond see our guide to Y6 tests.
