What tests do the children take?Children in Year 6 will take;

Grammar and Punctuation - 45-minute paper and be tested on 20 spellings.

Reading test, which consists of a booklet of three texts and an answer booklet. The test lasts for an hour ( 60 minutes).

They will take 30–minute arithmetic test  Paper 1 and a 40-minute maths reasoning test Paper 2.

On the last day, children take a further 40-minute maths reasoning test Paper 3.

DfE says test will ensure that pupils start secondary knowing tables by heart - but NAHT warns that primary schools are already 'cluttered with tests and checks'

The on-screen test will be sat by eight- and nine-year-olds in Year 4 and is designed to make sure primary school children know their times tables up to 12 by heart.

The trial comes ahead of a national rollout of the check on a voluntary basis from June 2019, before it becomes mandatory in June 2020.

Mr Gibb said: “Just as the phonics screening check helps children who are learning to read, the multiplication tables check will help teachers identify those pupils who require extra support.

“This will ensure that all pupils leave primary school knowing their times tables by heart and able to start secondary school with a secure grasp of fundamental arithmetic as a foundation for mathematics.”

It is understood that a sample of about 290 schools has been selected to participate in the trials, which will involve around 7,250 pupils. The schools are due to receive their invitation to participate shortly.

All pupils will be taught about mental and physical wellbeing

Three new subjects will be universal from 2020 to ensure school prepares pupils for the modern world - health education, relationships education and RSE.

All children in England will be taught how to look after their mental wellbeing and recognise when classmates may be struggling, as the Government unveils new guidance for the introduction of compulsory health education.

Bold new plans set out on Monday 25 February by the Education Secretary Damian Hinds confirm that, from September 2020, pupils of all ages will be taught the new subject – with a focus on promoting the positive link between physical and mental health.

This comes alongside the introduction of compulsory relationships education for primary-age pupils and relationships and sex education (RSE) for secondary-age pupils, to ensure children have all the knowledge they need to grow up healthy, happy and safe.

We offer extra tuition and enrichment sessions during school breaks.
