Key Stage 1
Key Stage 1 covers children between the ages of 5 and 7 in Year 1 and Year 2. It's a part of the National Curriculum and so sets out which subjects have to be taught. It also determines how children should be tested and what standards they should achieve in their English (literacy) and Maths (Numeracy) exams.
Key stage 1 tests cover
- English reading
- English grammar, punctuation and spelling
- Maths
Your child will take the tests in May. You can ask the school for the test results. You’ll be sent the results of your child’s teacher assessments automatically.
