Assess pupils confidently from the very start of the year with this comprehensive Year 3–6 Maths Baseline Assessment Bundle.

This bundle brings together four complete maths baseline assessment systems for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, designed to identify what pupils have retained from the previous year, highlight misconceptions and gaps, and give teachers practical information to use immediately for planning, intervention and challenge.

Rather than providing only a test and a score, each year-group pack is designed as a complete diagnostic toolkit, taking teachers from assessment through to analysis and next steps.

Four complete Maths baseline packs included
Year 3 Maths Baseline Assessment
Year 4 Maths Baseline Assessment
Year 5 Maths Baseline Assessment
Year 6 Maths Baseline Assessment

Each assessment focuses primarily on the previous year’s National Curriculum knowledge, making the bundle suitable for beginning-of-year assessment, transition information and establishing accurate starting points.

The Year 3 assessment includes a Core Year 2 Prior Attainment score /90 plus a separate Year 3 Readiness /10 section, allowing teachers to identify secure prior learning while also seeing which pupils are already beginning to access selected Year 3 concepts.

Maths areas assessed across the collection

Depending on the year group, assessment covers key areas including:

Number and Place Value
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division
Arithmetic and Fluency
Fractions
Decimals and Percentages where age appropriate
Measurement
Geometry and Position
Statistics
Mathematical Reasoning
Problem Solving

The assessments include a balance of fluency and application so teachers can identify not only whether pupils can calculate accurately, but whether they can reason, explain and apply their mathematical understanding.

Each year-group toolkit includes
Teacher Administration Guide
Ready-to-print Student Assessment Booklet
Detailed Teacher Mark Scheme and answers
Diagnostic notes and strand analysis
Diagnostic Framework and Worked Exemplification
Targeted Intervention Guide
National Curriculum Objective Mapping
SEND / Accessible Student Assessment Booklet
Inclusive Assessment Teacher Guidance
Parent Communication Template
Excel Assessment Tracker

Assessment that leads directly to action

The accompanying diagnostic resources allow teachers to move beyond an overall percentage and identify exactly where support is needed.

Use the results to:

establish accurate beginning-of-year starting points
identify retained knowledge from the previous year
spot individual and whole-class misconceptions
identify weaker mathematical domains
group pupils for targeted intervention
recognise pupils ready for additional challenge
inform medium-term and first-term planning
support pupil progress and transition discussions
provide useful evidence for Maths and phase leaders
communicate strengths and priorities clearly with parents

The intervention guidance links assessment outcomes to practical next steps, helping teachers focus support on specific misconceptions rather than reteaching an entire strand unnecessarily.

SEND and accessibility included

Each pack contains a SEND / accessible assessment version designed to reduce unnecessary barriers while maintaining the mathematical demand of the standard assessment.

Accessible versions use features such as clearer layouts, increased spacing, larger response areas and reduced visual load so pupils have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their mathematical understanding.

Excel tracking included

The assessment trackers support efficient analysis of pupil and class performance, including:

automatic score calculations
strand-level analysis
overall diagnostic judgements
class performance information
identification of intervention groups
individual pupil profiles and reporting information

Ideal for
Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 teachers
KS2 teams
Maths subject leaders
Phase leaders
Teaching assistants
Schools preparing for a new academic year
Transition and beginning-of-year assessment
Schools following the National Curriculum for England

This Years 3–6 Maths Baseline Bundle provides a consistent approach to diagnostic assessment across KS2 while still ensuring that each assessment is appropriate to the curriculum knowledge pupils should have secured before entering their new year group.

Four year groups. Four complete diagnostic systems. One comprehensive KS2 Maths assessment bundle designed to help teachers assess, diagnose, plan and intervene from the very beginning of the year.
