National Tests 2019 will take place between 

7th - 14th May 2019 

Children in years 2 to 9 now take national tests. It is important that your child is in school for these tests.

Numeracy

There are two kinds of numeracy tests.

• Procedural test that measures skills in number, measuring and data.  This year, pupils will complete this test online. 
• Reasoning that measures how well the children can use what the know to solve everyday problems.  This is a paper test. 

Reading

The reading tests are made up of short questions based on two or more texts. Some of the questions check how well the text has been understood, others aim to find out if children are able to make judgements about what they are reading.
