1. About these terms
These terms apply when you use beatsats.com, app.beatsats.com and the learning materials and features provided through them. By using Beat SATs, you agree to these terms. If you are a child, please read them with a parent, carer or teacher.
If you do not agree, do not use the service. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
2. Who may use Beat SATs?
Beat SATs is designed for UK primary learners, their families and educators. Children should use it with the permission and appropriate supervision of a parent, carer or school. The supervising adult is responsible for deciding whether the content and amount of screen time are suitable for the learner.
3. The current free service
The current practice service is free and does not require an account. Learner profiles and detailed progress are saved in the browser on the device being used. They may be lost if browser data is cleared, the device is replaced or storage is unavailable. We cannot restore progress that was stored only on a user’s device.
We may change, improve, pause or withdraw features. We aim to keep the service available but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access.
4. Educational purpose
Beat SATs is an independent practice resource. It is not a school, tutor or assessment authority, and it is not endorsed by the Department for Education or the Standards and Testing Agency.
We take reasonable care when preparing the service, but we do not promise that every question, answer, explanation, score, curriculum label or link is accurate, complete, current or free from mistakes. Content may not match a particular school’s teaching sequence and may not suit every learner.
Some questions and question variants are produced automatically from rules and templates. Automated checks and sampling reduce mistakes but cannot eliminate them. Automatically generated material must be treated as practice content and checked before it is used for an important teaching or assessment decision.
Scores, feedback and suggested levels are for informal practice only. They are not official assessments, professional educational advice or a substitute for a teacher’s judgement. They do not guarantee a particular SATs score, school placement, exam outcome or educational result.
Parents, carers, teachers and organisations decide whether, when and how Beat SATs is used. They remain responsible for appropriate supervision, safeguarding, screen time, selecting suitable material, checking content before relying on it, and any teaching, assessment or other decision made using the resource. Important information should be checked against current official guidance or with the learner’s school.
Please report a suspected content error to [email protected] so that we can review it.
5. Safety and safeguarding
Beat SATs is a self-service practice resource. It does not provide live teaching, childcare, learner monitoring, counselling, safeguarding supervision or an emergency-reporting service. Messages sent to Beat SATs are not monitored continuously and must not be used to report an immediate risk to a child.
Parents, carers, schools and other organisations remain responsible for supervising children and meeting their own safeguarding duties. If someone is in immediate danger in the UK, call 999. For a non-emergency safeguarding concern, contact the child’s parent or carer, the school’s designated safeguarding lead or an appropriate safeguarding service.
6. Acceptable use
You may use Beat SATs for personal, family or classroom learning. You must not:
- use the service unlawfully or in a way that harms another person;
- try to bypass security, probe the service or gain unauthorised access;
- use automated tools to overload, scrape or copy substantial parts of the service;
- introduce malware or interfere with the service or another user;
- sell, republish or commercially exploit Beat SATs content without written permission; or
- misrepresent Beat SATs content or branding as your own.
Reasonable linking to public pages and ordinary use by teachers with their own classes are welcome.
7. Content and intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the Beat SATs design, software, branding and original learning content belong to Beat SATs or its licensors. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, revocable right to use them for non-commercial learning while following these terms.
Official past papers, mark schemes and other third-party resources remain the property of their respective owners and may have their own copyright and usage rules. Links to another website do not mean that Beat SATs controls or endorses it.
8. Privacy and accessibility
Our Privacy Notice explains what information we use, how on-device progress works and how limited analytics is configured. Please read it alongside these terms.
Our Accessibility Statement explains our accessibility approach, current limitations and how to request help or report a barrier.

9. Future accounts and cloud progress
Accounts and database-backed progress are not part of the current service. If we add them, we will publish updated terms and privacy information before launch. The account flow will explain who may create or manage an account, what is stored, any parental controls, how data can be exported or deleted, and whether any paid features apply.
Users will not be treated as having agreed to material account or payment terms merely because they used today’s no-account service.
10. Responsibility and liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits responsibility where doing so would be unlawful. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and any mandatory statutory consumer rights.
If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible only for loss or damage that is a reasonably foreseeable result of that failure or of our failure to use reasonable care and skill. Loss is foreseeable when it is obvious that it may happen or both sides knew it might happen when the service was used.
Subject to the paragraph above and to the extent permitted by law, Beat SATs is not responsible for:
- an educational, assessment, school-placement or exam outcome;
- a decision made without independently checking practice content or official requirements;
- loss or harm caused by unsuitable, unsupervised or unlawful use of the resource;
- a parent, carer, teacher, school or other organisation failing to meet its own safeguarding, supervision, accessibility, device-management or legal duties;
- loss of progress or preferences stored only in the browser or on a user-controlled device;
- content, availability, security or actions of third-party websites and resources; or
- delay, interruption or failure caused by events outside our reasonable control.
Beat SATs is supplied for personal and educational practice, not for commercial or business-critical use. We are not responsible for business losses such as lost profit, revenue, opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill or business data.
These limitations do not protect Beat SATs where a loss was caused by our own breach of law or responsibility and the law does not allow that responsibility to be excluded.
11. Corrections, accessibility and complaints
To report an incorrect question or answer, technical problem, accessibility barrier, copyright concern or complaint, email [email protected]. Please include enough information to identify the relevant page or question, but do not include unnecessary information about a child.
We may correct, replace or remove content after reviewing a report. Making a correction does not by itself mean that Beat SATs accepts legal liability. We may ask that a parent, carer, teacher or other responsible adult continues a conversation originally started by a child.
12. Suspending access
We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect learners, users, our systems or our legal rights, or where these terms are seriously or repeatedly breached.
13. General terms and applicable law
We may update these terms when Beat SATs or the law changes. The latest version and effective date will appear on this page. We will give a prominent explanation before a material change that affects accounts, payments or children’s use.
If a court or other competent authority finds part of these terms unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to apply. If we delay enforcing a term, that does not mean we have waived the right to enforce it later.
These terms are between the user and Beat SATs. Except where the law says otherwise, no other person has a right to enforce them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a UK consumer, you keep any mandatory rights to bring a claim in the part of the UK where you live. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve a concern.
