New PUMA is an updated edition of our termly PUMA test suite, trusted by over 6,000 teachers to reliably benchmark performance and track progress against national averages in maths. Based on feedback from teachers like you, we’ve completely updated the papers so that they reflect today’s teaching practice. To allow for comparisons against current national averages, we’ve also fully re-standardised the tests on thousands of pupils in 2019/20/21.
£18.00 per 10-copy pack of termly tests for each subject and year group. Free downloadable test guidance and mark schemes are available with every purchase.
Free Test Guidance, Mark Schemes and Correlation Tables for New PUMA are available. Guidance on how to access them can be found here.
Using my assessments outside of the recommended test windows to evaluate what pupils have learned, as well as understanding which areas they need more help with, when they return to the classroom.
New PUMA is also available in online, auto-marked, interactive format.

Many of the pupils come from the adjacent town where there are high levels of social deprivation and complex socio-economic needs, so it’s important that there’s no pressure on the children. Because the tests are brightly coloured and child friendly, we find that many of the pupils get quite excited about doing them.
The addition of the PiRA, PUMA and GAPS... allows us to compare pupil progress at both an individual level and also against a nationally referenced standard.
The tests have provided the framework around which the MAT has based their assessment strategy.
The tests have been the most useful investment we’ve made, certainly in terms of assessment, in the eight years I’ve led the school.
