I offer a unique, full, pre-11+ and general Key Stage 2 Maths and English Teacher Assessment Service, for pupils in years 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.  This independent, comprehensive assessment is an ideal way of gaining a full, professional teacher assessment of your child’s abilities and progress in the core subjects of English and Maths.  This may be useful for indications of 11+ potential, Year 6 SATs potential ability, and more generally, as an informed way of gauging just where your child is currently in terms of their primary English and Maths skills and knowledge. 

 

This highly-specific, detailed assessment information can then be passed to other tutors (or to me, if I am to tutor your child in the near future), or used by parents, in order to focus immediately on those areas of weakness within a child’s capabilities, rather than spending months working through the whole curriculum for Maths, and equally for 11+ English, or Reasoning subjects, looking for gaps. Please get in touch for more information. 


I am happy to advise on resources which can be used at home to boost a child's progress, following an assessment.

Maths assessment

Depending on the reason for your assessment, I would set an appropriate assessment task: for example, if you are considering 7+, 11+ or 13+ exams in the future, I would set an age-appropriate past paper, eg a 9+ paper if your child is in Year 4, a 10+ if they are in Year 5, an 11+ if they are in Year 6. 

If,instead, you are wishing your child to be assessed more generally, to see how they are progressing in their primary education in relation to their Maths per se, I would use more generalised Maths assessment tasks appropriate to their age. 

 

English assessment

This might consist of two parts, a comprehension assessment, one of the key skills for SATs and 7+, 10+ and 11+ English exams and secondary school English lessons and exams, and an assessment of extended writing, extended writing being the other key skill assessed in both 7+, 11+ and SATs exams and beyond.  I would then mark both the comprehension and the composition, analysing both in very exacting detail, in relation to a full set of comprehension and writing criteria to appropriate to the year group in question.  I would then provide you with feedback on each.

The nature of either assessment is completely open - it can be geared to your exact objectives.
