Familiarise your pupils with National Test-style reading and maths papers whilst confidently measuring termly performance against thousands of pupils nationally.

The NTS Assessments were a new addition to our assessment model this year. We used them in the Autumn term from Y1 to Y6 and the feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive. We use other Rising Star resources for both Maths and Guided Reading so the tests married up very well with our Autumn term overviews, meaning we got the most accurate view of what the children had learned that term and what they could do independently. The questions are worded and structured similarly to end of Key Stage Assessments which help with the consistency we are trying to achieve in assessment across the school and in preparing for KS2 SATs. We will continue to use these going forward as not only were they the best assessment test we have found, but the marking scheme and scaled scoring is all very easy to follow. These assessments matched our teacher assessments almost perfectly across the school too so we know the children and staff are on the right track.

Good to get the children used to the format of the National Tests and, what's more, staff can see gaps in learning easily.

Loved them! I liked the format and visuals and the children liked the content. I thought the timing of the tests was well matched to pupils' learning. Provides accurate assessments.

Enjoyable texts with good pictures, a great layout and a variety of genres.
