Owl Class (Years 5 & 6)

Your child will take national tests in May when they reach the end of key stage 2 (year 6). 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.

The school will send you the results of your child’s tests and teacher assessments.

Here are some resources to help you prepare at home:
