The real Key Stage 2 papers, with their mark schemes, organised by year and subject. No sign-up, no email address, no watermark across the middle of the page.
Why we can give these away — and where we can't
Maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling papers are Crown copyright and carry no third-party material, so they are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 and anyone may republish them. Sites that put those behind a sign-up are charging you for something that is already yours.
English reading is different. The reading booklets contain extracts from books still in copyright, along with press photography, which the Department for Education is not permitted to license on to anyone else. So we link to those on GOV.UK rather than hosting them. It is the same file, one click further away, and it is the honest way to do it.
Contains material developed by the Standards and Testing Agency for national curriculum assessments and licensed under Open Government Licence v3.0.
