Welsh National Testing
Pupils from Year 2 to Year 6 undergo yearly national testing in the summer term. These tests assess pupils' ability to read and understand; to perform mathematical procedures and to reason mathematically. There are 3 tests in total. Teachers and senior leaders facilitate the tests within the classroom and in a comfortable and relaxed environment for the pupils. The tests are generally completed in their classroom and take between a half hour to an hour to complete. The tests are carried out online and are personalised, meaning they adapt depending on how a pupil is responding to the questions. The benefits of this method of testing are as follows:
Test scores are sent into the Welsh government database and standardised so that they can be compared to other children of similar ages across Wales. Test results are then sent back to school and we distribute them to you via the annual parent report at the end of the summer term. For more information, please follow the links below.
