What Remelia covers
Maths and English, to the end of Year 5, counted towards the test; the timed mock, in part.
Maths
The Key Stage 2 objectives for Years 3 to 5, in the order your child’s school teaches them.
English
Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary questions most days, Years 3 to 5.
Reading
From the autumn of Year 5, a weekly reading day: one unseen passage and 9 questions on it, from a bank of 130 passages.
Writing
Short timed pieces that a grown-up marks at home with ticks: one a fortnight from the spring of Year 4, one a week from the autumn of Year 5. Remelia Parents also prints a writing paper, offered first at 20 minutes, the length of FSCE’s written paper at other schools.
The last fortnight
In the last 14 days before the exam date the plan works to, sessions are shorter and nothing new is introduced. Until the consortium publishes the day, that date is an estimate.
The timed mock In part
A timed mock in the three-paper shape FSCE’s test has at other schools. In that shape, on paper: Adventure: maths (30 minutes), Adventure: English (30), Beacon: maths (20), Beacon: English (20) and Discovery: writing (20). Timed at the provider’s usual minutes. It is made in Remelia Parents or in For grown-ups. The Trafford consortium has not published its own test’s format, so its papers and minutes may differ.
Practice papers
Practice papers to print from Remelia Parents, with Remelia’s own questions. For this exam: maths and English papers in the style of FSCE’s Adventure paper (multiple choice) and Beacon paper (written answers); and a writing paper.
