This Year 2 grammar and writing test has been designed to check pupils’ understanding of key National Curriculum skills, including capital letters, full stops, question marks, past tense verbs, suffixes, adjectives and contractions with apostrophes. The questions encourage children to think carefully about sentence structure, punctuation and word choice, helping them apply their knowledge with growing confidence.

The assessment provides teachers with a clear snapshot of each child’s progress and supports targeted teaching and intervention. With a variety of question types and accessible tasks, this test helps build secure early foundations for writing success.

We recommend that this assessment is done at the end of Term 1.
