When you click on the subject it should have an option for the marking scheme, although it appears that Maths Key stage 1 (year 2) does not have this option.

I have a website which has the papers on but also has revision lists and resources for revising.

also a few maths games on there which the children seem to like. You can also email me with any maths problems.

I would not worry about the test results. They are used to test the school, not your child. The idea is to test all the kids in the school at 7 and again at 11, then see how much 'value' the school has added. From the school's point of view, they want low scores at 7 but high scores at 11, to show that they have added a lot of value. Whatever the outcome, it's not going to affect your kid, at least not the age 7 score. Do the school a favour, and don't coach him!

Does anyone happen to know where I can download (free) copies of the 11+ papers, also known as "The Kent Test". This is the exam that kids do at the end of primary if they are in a grammar school region (like we are in Kent). I would like to have a look at some papers to begin to get an idea of whether to put my son (currently age 9) through this ordeal or not. The school will help us to make the decision next year, but I would like to start thinking about it a bit earlier.
