In July 2012, in response to Lord Bew’s independent review of Key Stage 2 assessment, the Government announced a new statutory English grammar, punctuation and spelling test for all children in Year Six. This would be introduced during the 2012-13 academic year and was only signed off on the 20th December 2012. The test includes: sentence grammar (identification & grammatical • accuracy); punctuation (identification & grammatical accuracy); • vocabulary (grammatical accuracy) and spelling. •
The test puts an additional focus on essential English. Children should have mastered these skills by the time they leave primary school, so that they can enter secondary school with the basic skills in place.
Test Format… The test will be administered on paper with the spelling component administered orally by a test administrator. The total testing time will be approximately1 hour.
