A clear, professional Year 7 Maths Baseline Assessment designed for the first weeks of secondary school. This 60-mark, non-calculator test helps teachers identify pupils’ KS2 security and early KS3 readiness across number, place value, written methods, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, algebra readiness, geometry, measures, statistics and probability.

This assessment is designed to do more than produce a score. It gives teachers a useful starting point for planning, grouping, feedback and early intervention. The detailed mark scheme supports accurate marking with method marks, acceptable alternative answers, common errors and diagnostic notes, so teachers can see not only what pupils got wrong, but what those errors may reveal.

Why it is useful

It gives teachers a reliable first evidence point for Year 7 maths, without having to build a baseline test from scratch. It is especially useful in the first few weeks of Year 7 when teachers need to identify which pupils are secure, which pupils have gaps from KS2, and which pupils may need early support with key transition skills.

Why buy this version

This version is ideal if you want the core assessment and mark scheme at the lowest price. It is a strong choice for teachers who already have their own tracking or intervention systems but need a polished baseline test that is ready to print, use and mark.

For teachers who want the assessment to lead directly into QLA, targeted intervention and mini-whiteboard reteaching, the Diagnostic Pack, Intervention Pack, AfL PowerPoints and Complete Bundle provide the next step. The Complete Bundle gives the full workflow: assess, mark, analyse, intervene and check again.
