1 IntroductionNTS Assessments (National Test-style Standardised Assessments) have been written to enable schools

to monitor progress in Mathematics and Reading from Years 1 to 6. The tests are intended to be

used termly, around November, March and June – although each individual school will decide how the

assessments best fit into their assessment plans. The tests will provide reliable predictive and diagnostic

information and outcomes, and are designed for whole-class use, with pupils who will be entered for the

National Tests.

The tests have been written by SATs authors, and follow the National Test framework. Autumn and

Spring tests are shorter than the full SATs tests, as schools told us that they don’t necessarily have time

to administer a full SATs paper every term. The shorter papers in the earlier terms allow children to build

familiarity with the test content, format and demand, ready for a full-length paper in the Summer. The

Summer test mirrors the test framework for that key stage exactly, meaning that teachers quickly gain

an idea of how their children will manage the demands of questions on curriculum content for their year

group under challenging timings.

Tests increase in demand every term, reflecting the progress children will be making in class. Teachers

may use the curriculum maps (see page 5) to quickly understand what content is covered in each

test, checking before a teaching period begins that the relevant content will be covered before the

assessment is administered and ensuring a valid test.

NTS Assessments were all standardised on a sample of over 1000 children per paper; close to 7000

children have been involved in the trial altogether, which took place during the 2018-19 academic year.

Our sample schools were carefully chosen to ensure that we standardised the tests on a nationally

representative selection of schools. We looked carefully at geographical representation, and also at

attainment and disadvantage, to ensure that the results would not be skewed in any way and that our

scoring takes all kinds of schools and backgrounds into account.

The tests are simple to administer and straightforward to mark.

See page 7 for a breakdown of the tests and the times we suggest allocating for each.

Why use NTS Assessments?

Using NTS Assessments provides many benefits.

❯ NTS tests are written to the National Test framework, meaning that you are able to monitor progress

and familiarise children with SATs papers in a single termly test.

❯ NTS provides three carefully designed tests for each year. This enables you to follow the progress of

your pupils from term-to-term, as well as from year-to-year throughout Key Stages 1 and 2.

❯ Scores have been calibrated onto the Hodder Scale to allow you to see small increments of

progress from term-to-term and to compare progress against national norms. The Hodder Scale

was developed to provide a decimal scale that has proved to be an extremely useful measure to

monitor and predict small increments of progress from term-to-term. The Hodder Scale is now an

independent progress measure.

❯ NTS test scores help you to set appropriate and meaningful targets for your pupils and to monitor

pupils’ progress.

1 Introduction4

NTS Assessments

❯ NTS tests can provide you with an external reference for end-of-terms and end-of-years, so that you

may report your value-added term-by-term, as well as monitoring to ensure pupils are on target.

❯ NTS Assessments provide diagnostic information both about the individual pupil’s performance in

particular areas and through the use of data management software (MARK: My Assessment and

Reporting Kit), about groups of pupils such as class groups. This allows teachers to provide tailored

support so that all pupils can achieve the target results.

❯ NTS’s diagnostic capability allows you to investigate the strengths and weaknesses in your pupils’

reading skills. To enable you to use the information gained in this formative way, total scores on the

tests can be broken down into strands, giving a useful profile that reflects the content domains of the

National Tests.

The strands used in NTS Reading are:

Content domain reference 2a give/explain the meaning of words in context

2b retrieve and record information/identify key details from fiction and non-fiction

2c summarise main ideas from more than one paragraph

2d make inferences from the text/explain and justify inferences with evidence from the text

2e predict what might happen from details stated and implied

2f identify/explain how information/narrative content is related and contributes to meaning as a whole

2g identify/explain how meaning is enhanced through choice of words and phrases

2h make comparisons within the text

The balance of the questions assessing these strands reflects the balance of content domains in the

National Tests, and remains fairly constant as the tests become more demanding, helping you to pinpoint

where pupils may be under-performing or making above average progress.

NTS Reading: Autumn curriculum maps

Curriculum maps outline the content covered in every test, enabling you to ensure that relevant content

has been taught by the time the students take the tests.

These should be used as a quick guide at the beginning of a period of teaching and learning, to ensure

that lessons cover relevant content and therefore enable a valid test.

NTS Assessments


When to test

The NTS Assessments should ideally be used just before the end of term, as they have been designed to

assess the content presented in the curriculum map for that term.

Since the standardisation with our trial schools took place in November, March and June, similar timings will

produce the most dependable data; but, if the subject content has been taught, the timing is not critical.

Group size

You can administer the tests to whole classes or large groups if you feel comfortable doing so. If you

wish to give assistance to smaller groups outside the classroom setting this can be done at your

discretion; we suggest that children who require assistance receive it, but guidance should not be given

around the content itself or answers to test questions.

Timing

The table below shows the suggested time for each individual booklet. At KS1 in particular, this is just a

suggestion – we expect teachers to adjust as they see fit depending on the children in their class.

Year 1 Autumn Paper 1 25 minutes




Year 3 Autumn Reading Paper 45 minutes




Table 1: Autumn tests

Preparation

Each pupil will need the appropriate test booklet. Explain the following:

❯ Start off by making the pupils feel at ease. Explain what the test consists of and how long they have to

complete the booklet they have in front of them.

❯ The answer booklet consists of a range of questions: pupils should attempt them all.

❯ If pupils find a question too hard, they should have a go and then move on to the next one: they

should not spend too long on questions they cannot answer.

❯ If pupils have problems, they should ask for help by raising their hand.

❯ Review the timings of the papers using the table provided above. Explain to children how long they

have to complete the test.

❯ Ensure appropriate breaks are taken between booklets.

Teachers may choose to separate the class into smaller groups, based on ability. A more advanced

group may be able to complete the test in one sitting, whereas a less advanced group may need to

do so in smaller chunks. You should use your knowledge of pupils’ abilities to inform this decision, and

reflect this when completing the teacher questionnaire at the end of the test.

The teacher-administrator should allow pupils with Special Educational Needs the same support as

would be allowed during National Tests. Pupils may sit tests designed for children in the years below but

please be aware that the outcomes will not be valid, with the exception of the Hodder Scale score, which

can be used to track small increments of progress.

It is important that any supporting persons who may be reading questions to pupils read the text only

and not any symbols or operations, or give any other advice, explanations or definitions of words or

terms to pupils.

In Years 1 and 2, the questions may be read to the pupils. This applies to groups of pupils requiring this

assistance in other years, if this is how you would usually administer a non-statutory assessment, but

under test conditions (i.e. no help or guidance should be given in finding answers).

Paper Resource list Reading KS1 A pencil or pen

May use highlighter pens if this is normal classroom practice

Reading KS2 A dark pencil or blue/black pen

Table 2: Equipment allowed for each test

Administering the test

Give each pupil a test booklet. Ask them to write their name, gender, date of birth and the date of the

test on the front cover.

If any pupils are uncertain about what they have to do, you may give some additional explanation to help

them understand the requirements of the test, but do not help with the content of the question.

If the results are to be reliable, it is important that the pupils work alone, without copying from each other

or discussing their answers. Remind pupils of this if necessary.

Once the pupils have completed the test, their answers may be marked using the answers and mark

schemes found in this guidance.


NTS Assessments


Marking the answers

❯ The mark boxes in the right-hand margins of each test booklet indicate where a mark can be gained.

❯ Some questions have more than one part, or attract more than one mark, so you should follow the

mark scheme carefully, using your professional judgement if necessary.

❯ If more answers than required have been circled or ticked, the mark should not be awarded except if

it is clearly indicated that an incorrect response was initially made and then corrected.

❯ For scores to be valid, you should not award half marks.

Profiling performance by strand

The code letters shown above each mark box may be used to profile the pupil’s performance by strand

(which equate to the National Test content domains). Total the number of correct answers the pupil has

obtained in each coded strand and make a note of these strand scores in the boxes on the front cover of

the test booklet.
