This Year 3 grammar and writing test is designed to check pupils’ understanding of key National Curriculum skills, including punctuation, conjunctions, verbs, adverbs, prefixes, suffixes and apostrophes. The questions encourage children to think carefully about word choice and sentence structure, supporting them to apply their learning with accuracy and confidence.

The assessment provides teachers with a clear picture of each child’s strengths and next steps, making it ideal for mid-year checks, end-of-unit assessment or revision. With a mix of question types and carefully sequenced tasks, this test helps build secure foundations for later grammar success, while developing confident, capable young writers.

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