A complete Year 7 Maths Baseline Assessment Diagnostic Pack for the first weeks of secondary school. This pack helps teachers assess incoming Year 7 pupils, identify KS2 gaps quickly, and turn the results into useful class-level and pupil-level next steps.

The assessment is a 60-mark, 50–60 minute baseline test covering key KS2 transition and early KS3 readiness skills: place value, rounding, negative numbers, written methods, order of operations, word problems, estimation, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, proportion, algebra readiness, perimeter, area, angles, coordinates, statistics and probability.

What makes this pack especially useful is that it does not stop at a raw score. The detailed mark scheme supports fair and consistent marking, including method marks, acceptable alternative answers, common errors and diagnostic notes. The QLA workflow helps teachers move from “what did they score?” to “what do they need next?” by identifying weak strands, priority questions and possible intervention groups.

Turns assessment results into teachable next steps

Why buy this version:

This Diagnostic Pack is the best choice if you want more than a standalone baseline test. It gives you the assessment, the marking guidance and the analysis tools needed to act on the results. It is ideal for individual teachers, heads of maths, Year 7 transition leads and departments wanting a consistent start-of-year diagnostic process.

For schools that want the full assessment-to-intervention workflow, this pack also works as the foundation for a larger system: follow-up practice sheets can target the exact question types pupils missed, and AfL PowerPoints can be used for mini-whiteboard reteaching and live checking.
