Start Year 4 knowing exactly what your pupils know, where the gaps are and what to teach next.

This complete Year 4 Maths Baseline Assessment and Diagnostic Toolkit is designed to assess pupils’ retained Year 3 National Curriculum knowledge while also sampling selected Year 4 readiness objectives. Readiness is reported separately, so pupils are not penalised for content they have not yet been taught.

This is much more than a beginning-of-year maths test. The assessment has been designed to help teachers move from assessment → diagnosis → intervention → planning.

What does the assessment cover?

The assessment is worth 100 marks and can be completed in two manageable sessions:

Part A: Arithmetic & Fluency

30 minutes
40 marks
Written and mental calculation
Fractions
Familiar conversions

Part B: Reasoning & Problem Solving

45 minutes
60 marks
Number and place value
Calculation
Fractions
Measurement
Geometry
Statistics
Mathematical reasoning

The overall diagnostic score consists of 90 marks for core prior attainment and 10 separate Year 4 readiness marks.

10 teacher-ready resources included

✓ Teacher Administration Guide
✓ Ready-to-print Student Assessment Booklet
✓ Teacher Mark Scheme with answers, method marks and diagnostic notes
✓ Diagnostic Framework with worked pupil exemplification
✓ Intervention Guide
✓ National Curriculum Objective Mapping
✓ SEND / Accessible Student Assessment Booklet
✓ Automated Excel Assessment Tracker
✓ Inclusive Assessment Teacher Guide
✓ Parent Communication Template

Turn scores into useful teaching information

Rather than receiving one overall percentage, teachers can identify patterns across the key mathematical domains and use these to establish strengths, misconceptions and priorities for the first term.

The diagnostic framework supports consistent teacher judgements using:

Working Towards | Expected | Expected Secure | Above Expected

The separate Year 4 Readiness score is reported as:

Emerging | Developing | Secure | Advanced

Importantly, the readiness score is used to establish an appropriate starting level for Year 4 teaching rather than lowering a pupil’s judgement of their Year 3 attainment.

Intervention support is already built in

Once gaps have been identified, the included Intervention Guide provides targeted 30–45 minute intervention strategies, independent checks and exit checks. It covers Number & Place Value, Calculation, Fractions, Measurement, Geometry & Shape, Statistics & Reasoning and mathematical explanation.

A four-week intervention structure is also included to support teachers in moving from diagnosis and modelling through guided practice, independent application and reassessment.
