Get a quick picture of your new Year 4 class before committing valuable teaching time to lengthy beginning-of-year assessments.

This FREE Year 4 English and Maths Mini Diagnostic Assessment is designed as a short initial check of key prerequisite knowledge. It helps identify early strengths, possible gaps and pupils who may need further assessment as they begin Year 4.

Each subject contains just 12 carefully selected questions, making this ideal for the first few days of school, transition activities or an initial diagnostic check.

What’s included?

• Year 4 English Mini Diagnostic Assessment – 12 marks
• Year 4 Maths Mini Diagnostic Assessment – 12 marks
• Teacher answers and marking guidance
• Diagnostic focus linked to individual questions

More than just a score

The included automatic Excel tracker turns the assessment results into useful diagnostic information.

Simply enter pupil results and the tracker helps you identify patterns across the class as well as individual areas of strength and difficulty.

This means the mini assessment follows the same core principle as the complete KJ_EduInsights baseline range:

Assess → Diagnose → Act

Rather than simply finding out how many questions a pupil answered correctly, the resource is designed to help you begin identifying what they may need next.

Quick enough for the first week

The mini assessments are designed to take approximately 15 minutes per subject, giving you a useful initial snapshot without taking over your first days with a new class.
