Keystage: KS2, Year 5

Until 2016, optional SATs were taken by children in some schools in Years 3, 4 and 5 and were used by teachers to assess children's progress at the end of the school year. Only a very limited number of official optional SATs papers were available to parents for Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 English and maths (you can download them for free from TheSchoolRun), so we commissioned our own 'mock' papers.

In 2016, new SATs exams were introduced to reflect the new National Curriculum. These mock papers are based on the 'old-style' optional SATs, used up to and including 2015, but will still offer your child extra practice and revision opportunities.

Year 5 maths optional SATs, set A includes:

Y5 maths SATs practice set A: mental maths test
Mental maths pupil answer sheet
Mental maths test transcript for the parent to read
Y5 maths SATs set A: paper 1 (to be completed without a calculator)
Y5 maths SATs set A: paper 2 (to be completed with a calculator)
Answers and mark scheme

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

Children should be given 45 minutes to complete practice paper 1 and 45 minutes to complete practice paper 2.

Testimonials

'My granddaughter is enjoying using TheSchoolRun worksheets and eBooks – they really do make learning fun.'

- Moira, Tring

'Thank you for providing a much-needed service for parents and one which really represented good value for money. I particularly loved your handwriting sections and the ‘Learning Journey’ links that you have created. There are not many services I would pay to subscribe to, and even less I would recommend, but yours is one which I did!'

- Nicola, Aberdeenshire

'I’m not on social media but just wanted to reach out and say I have been recommending you to everyone I know, with kids of course!

Your site has been fantastic. It’s not only teaching my little one things, it’s showing me how things should’ve been done when I was younger. I do wish you were around then, as your content is fantastic and my little boy looks forward to your daily worksheets. Learning definitely made fun.

People are so quick to moan these days, so I wanted to send an email to sing my praises. You’ve helped me become more organised with the schedule of things, but without the pressure I was putting myself under before. We have fun and learn.'

- Katie, Sevenoaks

'I'm finding your site an absolutely fantastic resource alongside the stuff being sent from my son's school. We love being able to keep track of his progress on his Learning Journey checklist!'

- Claire, Kent
