Personalised assessments are mandatory for learners in Years 2 to 9 in maintained schools in Wales. The assessments for Numeracy (Procedural), Numeracy (Reasoning) and Reading are available throughout the year for schools to use to support learners to make progress.
The purpose of these assessments is to find out children’s strengths and areas for further development so that their teachers can help them grow their skills.
After your child has completed a personalised assessment, their teacher can see feedback on their skills and progress which helps the teacher to plan the next steps for your child’s learning.
