Key Stage 2

KEY STAGE 2

Key Stage 2 is the legal term for the four years of schooling in maintained schools in England and Wales normally known as Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6, when the pupils are aged between 7 and 11 years.

Your child will take national tests in May when they reach the end of key stage 2. These test your child’s skills in:

• English reading
• English grammar, punctuation and spelling
• maths

The tests last less than 4 hours. You’ll get the results in July.
