Some pupils with specific needs may need additional arrangements so they can take part in KS2 tests.
Types of support include:
- early opening of test packs, to adapt test papers
- additional time to complete the tests
- the use of scribes, word processors or other technical or electronic aids
- making transcripts
- written or oral translations
- readers
- the use of prompts and rest breaks
- the use of accessibility objects in the mathematics test
- highlighter pens
- arrangements for pupils who are ill or are injured at the time of the tests
Schools must consider whether any of their pupils will need access arrangements before they administer the tests. The guidance includes details about the different arrangements.
