Assessment is changing- yes,again! The NEW NC is being assessed for the first time in May 2016. The KS1 SPAG 2016 ASSESSMENTS are currently still 'in design'.

The test will consist of three parts; a short written task, it has been suggested that stimulus and prompts may be given. The second section will be themed questions, they may be represented in a number of ways and the third section will focus on Spelling.
