Some pupils with specific needs may need additional arrangements so they can take part in the optional KS1 tests.

Types of support include:

• additional time to complete the tests
• adaptations of test papers
• compensatory marks for spelling
• the use of scribes, word processors or other technical or electronic aids
• making a transcript
• written or oral translations
• readers
• the use of prompts and rest breaks
• accessibility objects in the mathematics test
• highlighter pens
• administering the tests at an alternative location

Schools must consider whether any of their pupils will need access arrangements before they administer the tests.
