Term-By-Term
Assessment

Our GATEWAY and LAUNCHPAD primary maths assessments cover the NCETM or Oak curriculum.

We also offer Y6: Foundations assessment to help assess children starting in Year 6.

Access these resources with subscriptions to Square Club starting at £200

Gateways

Gateway papers provide clear, accessible checkpoints aligned with ready-to-progress criteria, helping every pupil take confident steps forward—available termly for Years 1–6.

Launchpads

Launchpad papers encourage mathematical thinking and creativity with open-ended questions, offering teachers deeper insights into pupil reasoning—available each term for Years 2–6.

Designed for CLARITY: direct, accessible questions and instant insight for teachers. Our gateway papers are clear checkpoints, aligned with ready-to-progress criteria, giving every pupil a confident step forward. Each paper starts with a positive “get on the bus” task.

Flexible to use:
✔ Whole or in parts
✔ Fits any routine
✔ See mastered gates at a glance

From Years 2 to 6, pupils take two papers each term. We know Year 1 is all about growth, so the first gateway is at year’s end—when children are ready.

Results flow straight to your tracker and Square-i. Gateway assessments open doors for every learner—clear, simple, meaningful.

Launchpad

Launchpad papers are open, friendly opportunities for children to show their mathematical thinking. Covering the same ready-to-progress criteria as Gateway papers, Launchpads use open-ended questions to let pupils explore and explain their ideas—giving teachers deeper insight into mathematical reasoning.

Easy to use:
✔ Encourage the children to show what they can think about mathematically
✔ Can be flexibly partitioned, making them easy to administer
✔ Encourage creative, independent thinking

One Launchpad paper is available each term for Years 2–6. Launchpads complement Gateways by putting pupil reasoning and curiosity at the heart of assessment—open, insightful, and empowering.

Y6: Foundations

Y6: Foundations papers help Year 6 teachers understand how securely children have understood the ready-to-progress criteria up to the start of Year 6. There is a separate paper for each ready-to-progress strand, so teachers can see where pupils are confident in their mathematical thinking and where they may need further development.

Easy to use:
✔ Highlight strengths and areas for continued growth
✔ Support focused planning and teaching
✔ Build a secure foundation for the year ahead

Y6: Foundations gives every pupil the chance to begin Year 6 with clarity and confidence, helping teachers guide learning where it’s needed most.
