Perfect for a Maths coordinator looking to have detailed discussions with class teachers about the specific strengths and areas for development for a whole cohort or individual children, these QLA/Gap Analysis grids for each of the White Rose Maths Autumn term assessments will help you support teachers to draw accurate and impactful conclusions from their assessment data.
So far these resources have been used:
To plan revision for a whole class.
To plan interventions for children
In pupil progress meetings to indicate areas for development.
As part of an evidence base for Ofsted deep dives into Maths
Applicable for the 2021-2022 WRM assessments.
This resource will save you many hours work when trying to use Assessment for Learning in your class.
There are two QLA grids included in one Excel document for help with Gap Analysis.
Arithmetic
Reasoning
Input the data using the marks from the papers and the grid will change colour to show where a child has been successful or not answered a question correctly, or at all.
The spreadsheet will auto-calculate how successful the whole cohort has been on particular questions. These are linked directly to the WRM small steps so you can see which lessons and steps need to be revised. 30 children can be entered in this document.
The total score thresholds auto-calculate and change colour to help indicate which children are working at approximately an expected standard (EXS) level or a Greater Depth (GDS) level. These thresholds use historical KS2 SATs thresholds to make them as accurate as possible.
Please note, some of the cells are locked for editing so that users do not break the spreadsheet functionality. Passwords will not be given out. However, I am more than happy to assist with any adaptations you need.
Additionally, I am in no way affiliated with White Rose Maths. No White Rose Maths resources are included in this product. Freely available content is linked to within it.
An editable Facebook Profile page that children can fill in with their details. After they have filled it in, a discussion about what information they’d cross out and not share with a total stranger can take place.
In the template are boxes for:
-A profile Picture
-Name
-Age
-Date of Birth
-School
-About me
-E-mail address
-Phone Number
-Places I usually visit after school
-Address
-Important Life events
Some children could also make ‘dummy’ versions of these for made up people for a classroom or corridor e-Safety/Safer Internet Display.
I have also included a pdf version of the resource for those of you who do not have Publisher.
A worksheet aimed at Years 5-7 to secure their knowledge of passive verbs, Activities include identifying passive verbs, using passive verbs in sentences, converting the active voice into the passive voice and using multiple passive verbs in a single paragraph.
Takes children through a progression to mastery, all on one sheet. Easy to understand and easy to mark.
Fun, fully interactive and challenging with working 50/50 lifelines. An excellent way to assess or embed skills.
There are 15 questions, testing children's ability to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 (including decimals).
N.B The original logos for Who Wants to be a Millionaire are property of Sony Pictures Television. For this reason they have not been included, but a similar non-trademarked version has.
A complete bundle of Gap Analysis Grids / QLA (Reading, GPS, Spelling, Arithmetic, Reasoning 1, Reasoning 2) for the May 2017 KS2 SATs assessments. I have also included links to the papers, the mark schemes and the conversion grids within each spreadsheet.
These grids will save you many hours work and will help you quickly identify individual or whole cohort weaknesses in specific areas of the curriculum.
The sheets are set up for 30 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken.
Please remember to leave feedback as I am aiming to build a reputation as a creator who aims to save teachers time and improve their effectiveness.
Two fantastic resources.
Activity 1 - children create a bar chart from a completed tally chart. (two different versions, differentiated)
Activity 2 - children create a tally chart from a completed bar chart. (two differentiated versions)
This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master opposite angles. Answers are included.
Children are challenged to:
- name the type of angle a ‘missing angle’ is.
- calculate its size in degrees
- measure it accurately using a protractor.
All angles are correctly sized.
There are two sheets, an Expected Standard sheet and a more challenging Greater Depth sheet (2016+ Curriculum). On each sheet there are nine missing angles, meaning that children have 27 things to do in order to complete one activity sheet.
Please rate and/or comment. All feedback is valuable.
- Calculate the area of quadrilaterals including squares, rectangles, trapeziums and parallelograms.
- Calculate the area of triangles
- Calculate the area of compound shapes, including shapes with missing lengths and decimal sides.
Differentiated. Now includes a PowerPoint and pdf to help with teaching and display (found in the quadrilaterals section)
A differentiated activity sheet/ worksheet to help children develop their understanding of metaphors as figurative language.
Challenge 1 - Identify the metaphors
Challenge 2 - Write metaphors about specific nouns
Challenge 3 - Write sentences that include metaphors that feature specific aspects of grammar or punctuation.
Please see my shop for bundles.
This resource will help teach or reinforce children’s understanding of figurative language.
Challenge 1 - Identify similes
Challenge 2 - Identify metaphors
Challenge 3 - Identify personification.
Answers included.
If you require activities that go into much more depth for similes, metaphors and personification, please see my shop for individual resources or a bundle.

This resource pack includes a everything you need for the children to have a go at writing a high-level Newspaper. Included is:
- An example modeled newspaper article, complete with headline, text, pictures, advertisement and Year Six standard Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (in pdf and .doc format)
- A blank template. I've set this so that the text automatically flows into the other text boxes as children write more. This will save a lot of teacher time in lessons. Helpful to allow a bit more independence!
Please give feedback or rate this resource. I also take requests.
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the May 2017 Year Six SATs Papers for Reading .
The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability.
If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2017 SATs with that score. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject.
I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score.
All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong.
The sheets are set up for 90 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken.
I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers.
