Standardised termly grammar, punctuation and spelling assessments for learners aged 5-11. Available in print and digital format with free reporting and test data analysis.
New GaPS (Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling) is a termly assessment for ages 5–11, standardised on over 7,000 learners to reliably benchmark performance and track progress against national averages whilst familiarising learners with National Tests.
New GaPS assessments follow the National Test framework and reflect papers in format, content and demand. Confidently assess all national curriculum content domains and generate thorough and consistent diagnostic profiles for your learners whilst helping to prepare them for their National Tests.

Clear reporting
Targeted interventions
New GaPS assessments have followed a rigorous standardisation process to ensure they provide valid and reliable data outcomes to measure attainment and track progress.
- Standardised on a nationally (UK) representative sample of over 7,000 pupils in 2023/24.
- Automatically generated Standardised Scores allow you to compare performance against national averages.
- Age-standardised Scores show how a learner is performing against children of the same age, calculated in years and months.
- GPV Ages (grammar, punctuation and vocabulary) and Spelling Ages measure the age at which each learner's performance is typical and help to isolate areas in which learners are stronger. Ages also provide useful reference points when discussing performance with parents.
- Hodder Scale Scores help to track progress for learners who are working outside of their age range but continue to make small increments of progress.
