Paper Tests for Year 2 to Year 6 pupils
In the past, the Welsh Government tests have been three paper based tests which are marked by school and then sent off to Welsh government to be converted into a standardized score. The standardized score enables us to look at how they have performed in the test compared to other children of their age. This is a useful piece of information but over the last two years, online personalised tests have been introduced which go a bit further. The benefits of these are that the tests are:
What this means to you is that your child, if they are in Year 2 to Year 6 at Lansdowne, will complete one paper based test this year. This is a reasoning test paper and HAS TO BE CONDUCTED BETWEEN 28th and 30th April this year. This means that it is really important that your child is in school on these dates so that they can have a chance to perform the test. After this period, we cannot complete the test.
