Primary pupils will sit key stage 2 SATs a day later than planned in May because of the extra bank holiday to mark the King’s coronation.
The Standards and Testing Agency confirmed today that tests will take place in the same week and usual order, but each will take place “one day later than originally planned”.
It comes after an additional bank holiday on May 8, including school closures, was announced earlier this month to mark King Charles’ coronation. The move had thrown the SATs timetable up in the air, as it marks the first day of KS2 SATs.
