Year 7 transition assessments

Save time, reduce workload, and gain accurate insights into your new students’ abilities

Our Transition Assessments mirror the SATs papers taken at the end of KS2 but give year 7 teachers an accurate, up to the moment overview of student ability. Not only that, teachers will be able to use the results from our Transition Assessments to identify areas of strength and weakness, both for individual students and across larger groups.

Completely self-marking maths assessments and partially self-marking English assessments, with marking support provided for written answers, these assessments will save teachers valuable time and provide an accurate view of knowledge and ability at the start of KS3.
