Year 6 SATs countdown planner
One page for the whole run-up to SATs: twelve week rows, a main focus for each, and a line for one thing that went well. The official future-dates timetable schedules the 2027 tests from Monday 10 May to Thursday 13 May 2027. Write those dates against the planner's last row and work backwards.
Use it alongside the Year 6 SATs revision guide to choose practice topics. Twelve weeks is an option, not a required revision schedule: use the rows you need.
Make the plan manageable
Choose a weekly focus and leave room for breaks, catch-up and changes to the plan.
- A weekly focus
- Space for breaks and catch-up
- Adjust the plan as needed
How to use it
- Use the print button to open your browser’s print options. Choose a printer or Save as PDF where your browser offers it.
- Write the test-week dates in the last row you need, then fill in the earlier weeks. Cross out unused rows.
- Choose a topic to revisit using the Year 6 Maths and Year 6 English checklists. Ask the class teacher if you are unsure where to start.
- Leave space for breaks and unfinished work. You could use the later weeks to revisit questions from past papers, alongside any school advice.
- Note something your child can now explain or a question to revisit. Use those notes to adjust the following week.

One main focus per week is a starting suggestion. Add reading or arithmetic practice where useful, and adjust the plan if a topic needs more time.
