Key Stage Assessments
Key Stage Assessments are tests used in the UK education system to evaluate students' knowledge and skills at specific stages in their schooling. They occur at different points: Key Stage 1 (ages 6-7), Key Stage 2 (ages 10-11), Key Stage 3 (ages 13-14), and Key Stage 4 (ages 15-16). These assessments help teachers, parents, and schools understand how well students are progressing in subjects like English, mathematics, and science. The results can influence educational decisions and are often used for accountability in schools, ensuring that students are meeting national educational standards.
