About KS3 SATs Papers
KS3 SATs papers were introduced in 2003.
KS3 test papers challenged children in their Year 9 Maths, Science and English.
Following a long battle with teachers, formal tests were dropped after 2009. KS3 Maths papers (together with English and Science) do still exist but they are written and marked within schools. For further information about KS3 SATs, read our dedicated History of SATs article.
KS3 SATs papers remain useful to children. Giving your child KS3 past papers before their tests is the best way to prepare them.
Whilst there haven't been any published since 2009, Year 9 SATs remain valuable to children in Year 9. Especially for the KS3 SATs papers in Maths.
Since 2011 we have offered free KS3 SATs papers to millions of parents and teachers. Other websites (like emaths ks3, emaths ks3 maths and satspapers org ks3) have tried and failed to compete. Thank you for your support!
