‘Obviously designed by teachers, the assessments are very useful for target setting due to the clear links to the objectives from the RENEWED FRAMEWORK. I can see at a glance what needs to be taught at whole class level and on an individual basis. The assessments are a great time-saver, they are easy to administer and mark, they use appropriate vocabulary and they are very child friendly. I would recommend them to schools without hesitation.’

Renewed Framework Assessments

The assessments have been designed to complement the Renewed Framework for Mathematics from Year 1 to Year 6. The objectives which relate to each question of the assessments have been fully cross referenced to the APP Guidelines Grids. The assessments are purposely designed to avoid the ‘look’ of a formal test. They are intended to be presented to children as a piece of formative work at the end of a unit block.

They are designed with flexibility in mind; they will fit any curriculum format and they provide an ideal basis for the ASSESSING PUPILS' PROGRESS STRATEGY. They are diagnostic and designed to highlight strengths and gaps in children’s learning.


‘As the headteacher of a primary school, I believe these assessments form vital evidence when making judgements about children’s levels. They are used very effectively at my school to support teachers’ judgements and they have been a great help, especially when implementing the APP Strategy.’

The completed assessments can also be levelled using the ‘Guide to Levelling Table’ and this information can be used to effectively track children’s progress in maths. This tracking system has been highly praised by Ofsted for its simplicity and purpose.

We now have available, for each year group, a software program; the SP Assessment Analysis Program. This program, which is simple and quick to operate, provides vital information about the learning of children in a particular year group. The software analyses the performance of children, it provides a NC level and it also automatically highlights APP grids for every child in the class, if required. Further information and demo versions of the program are available to download by following this link to DOWNLOAD DEMO VERSIONS

A whole school level tracker is also available on CD-Rom which shows, at a glance, which children are on track throughout school. This is particularly useful for co-ordinators or heads when tracking progress. Further information and a demo version is available by following this link to WHOLE SCHOOL LEVEL TRACKER

At just £25 per year group, we believe there is no comparison on the market for quality and value. However, please don’t take our word for it – why not request one year group on approval. Please follow this link to the APPROVAL REQUEST FORM.
