apply for early opening by 25 February

Special Consideration
apply for compensatory marks for spelling by 25 February
If any pupils are unable to take Paper 2: spelling due to a profound hearing impairment, they may qualify for compensatory marks. This allows pupils to receive an overall test outcome for the English grammar, punctuation and spelling test.
Videos demonstrating how to make an application for early opening or for a compensatory mark for spelling are available in the test administration section of our media site.
Also on our media site are videos demonstrating how to make an application for additional time and how to apply for a timetable variation for the KS2 tests.

Question Level Analysis
The successor to RaiseOnline, ASP includes QLA for the KS2 GSP , reading and maths tests. Teachers can compare the performance of their Y6 pupils at question and - more usefully - content domain levels with the national success rates. Such analyses can help to predict strengths and areas for development.
