The Department for Education has published the key stage 1 tests taken by pupils in Year 2 last month.
The papers were put on the DfE’s website today:
The tests are marked internally by teachers using the mark schemes provided by the Standards and Testing Agency.
Schools are not obliged to report individual test results to parents, but parents must be given their child’s results on request.
If a school is chosen by its local authority for an external moderation visit (25 per cent of schools are moderated each year), the school must ensure that key stage 1 test papers are available for external moderation.
The test results must be used to support the teacher assessment of how a pupil has performed at the end of key stage 1, which schools are required by law to carry out.
Schools must submit key stage 1 teacher-assessment data to local authorities by the end of June.
Teacher assessments on writing and science, which are not tested, must also be reported by the end of June.
