Description
The Sandwell Numeracy Test comprises of a revised edition for students aged 4-8 (SENT-R) and a version to enable the assessment of older students experiencing difficulties with numbers suitable for students aged 8 to 14 years (SENT KS2–KS3).
The Sandwell Early Numeracy Test assessments enable teachers to assess a students’ ability with numbers, through exploring five strands of basic numeracy skills: identification, oral counting, value, object counting and language.
This standardised assessment is particularly useful in helping to identify targets for students with Special Educational Needs and it can also be used with older students whose performance is well below average their age group.
Administered on a one-to-one basis the assessment has been designed to identify specific number skills that require targeted teaching and to monitor the impact of teaching interventions. For children with Special Educational Needs, it can also be used to identify targets for an individual education plan (IEP) and to provide information to support decision-making within the SEN Code of Practice.
