All children from Year 2 to Year 9 sit the Wales National Tests each year in the Summer Term. This year, the tests will take place between 2nd – 9th May 2018.

The reading tests are made up of short questions based on a number of different texts. Some of the questions check how well the text has been understood, others aim to find out if children are able to make judgements about what they are reading.
The procedural test measures skills in things like numbers, measuring and data.
The reasoning test measures how well children can use what they know to solve everyday problems.
At St. Julian’s Primary, we don’t believe formal tests conducted in this manner are the best way to measure progress. We use a range of data throughout the year to monitor and track pupils’ progress in order to provide targeted support where it’s needed.
