What do we do if there’s an absence / incident / disruption on test day? What wording are you using with parents and staff so everyone’s aligned? So we’ve added the KS2 SATs Administration Checklist (2026) — built for Mon 11 May to Thu 14 May 2026 — to help you organise people, rooms, materials, communication and records.
