Practice that focuses on what your child finds hard

Most quizzes show a child what they already know. Revision Ladder is built around the opposite. When a question goes wrong, that topic does not disappear: it returns in future practice, quizzes and revision activities, so your child gets repeated chances to strengthen their understanding and eventually get it right.

• Focus where it counts

  Instead of repeating what your child already knows, practice leans on the areas they get wrong, so time is spent where it helps most.

• Confidence before the tests

  Little and often practice through Year 5 and Year 6 means fewer nasty surprises in May and a child who has already met the question styles.

• A clearer picture for parents

  See which subjects and topics your child has worked on, where they are strong and where to give a bit more support.

How it works

1. You set up the account in about a minute. Parents hold the account.
2. Add your child with a nickname and their stage. No other personal details are needed.
3. A short starter activity finds their level, then practice adapts as they go.
4. You see what they have been working on and where they could use more support.

KS2 questions parents ask

What year groups is KS2 practice for?

Key Stage 2 is Year 3 to Year 6, which is children aged 7 to 11 in England. The SATs are taken at the end of Year 6.

Will this help with Year 6 SATs?

Revision Ladder covers the maths, grammar, punctuation, spelling and reading skills that Key Stage 2 SATs test, and keeps returning to the topics your child finds hardest. It supports school learning and does not guarantee results.

Does it cover times tables?

Yes. There is dedicated times tables practice, including practice for the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check, alongside the wider maths content.

Can I see how my child is getting on?

Yes. Parents get a clear progress view showing the subjects and topics your child has been working on, where they are doing well and where they may need more support.

How much does it cost and can we try it first?

Every family gets a free 14-day trial with no card needed and no automatic charge. After that KS2 is a simple monthly or yearly plan, and family plans cover several children.
