Modified tests for pupils with visual impairment


Schools that need to order modified papers for national curriculum tests can do so from the NAA Test orders website.

You can also contact the modified test orders agency by telephone on 0870 321 6727 for further information.

Modified large print (MLP) sample materials at key stage 1.

QCA do not produce enlarged papers at key stage 1, as younger children find the enlarged papers difficult to manipulate. Slight amendments may be made to the layout of text and questions in the modified large print version of the test to increase accessibility.

Below are some questions from tests produced in 2000, for both English and mathematics. These show the relative difference in how the same questions are printed in both the standard and modified large print versions.
