In Key Stage 2, at the beginning of each maths paper, White Rose Education provides guidance on the duration of the test.
In Key Stage 1 similar guidance has been requested by schools. To ensure a more consistent approach, we have collaborated with White Rose Education and we are now providing the following guidelines:
| Autumn 2 | Spring 2 | Summer 2 | ||||
| Arithmetic | Reasoning | Arithmetic | Reasoning | Arithmetic | Reasoning | |
| Year 1 | 15 minutes | 25 minutes | 15 minutes | 25 minutes | 15 minutes | 25 minutes |
| Year 2 | 20 minutes | 30 minutes | 20 minutes | 35 minutes | 20 minutes | 35 minutes |
| Year 3 | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes |
| Year 4 | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes |
| Year 5 | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes |
| Year 6 | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes | 25 minutes | 50 minutes |
In both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, additional time may be allowed where children are eligible under usual access arrangements.
