Details
If you are involved in administering the 2025 key stage 2 (KS2) tests to pupils with hearing or visual impairments, you should prepare by reading:
- the KS2 test administration guidance (TAG)
- this modified test administration guidance (MTAG)
This will ensure that pupils using the modified large print (MLP) or braille versions of the tests, or who have a hearing impairment, can access the tests properly and are not at a disadvantage.
The guidance includes information about:
- planning for the tests
- receiving test materials
- administering the tests
- sending the completed test scripts for marking
