Free entry assessments

The papers we use to see where a new student should start: one for each subject and school year, from Year 3 to Year 11. They are deliberately challenging, so a child working at the standard for their year will not get everything right. Free to download and print, no sign-up, no email address.

  1. 1. Choose the paper for your child's current school year.
  2. 2. Print it on A4. There is room on the paper for all the working.
  3. 3. Allow the time shown, somewhere quiet. Use a calculator only if the paper says so.
