Dear Parents/Carers of children in Year 4,

MULTIPLICATION TABLES CHECK 2022

As you will be aware, the Government have announced that children in Year 4 will participating in a Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) in June this year. The test will be an on-screen check consisting of 25 questions. The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help our school to identify if your child may need additional support.

To give you a little more information about the test and let you know what we are doing to help your child to prepare for it, we wish to invite all parents/carers of children in Year 4 to a short informal meeting on Wednesday 18th May at 9:00 a.m. in the Junior Hall. The meeting, which will last approximately thirty minutes, will also give you the chance to ask any questions that you may have.

We have attached an information leaflet for your information in the letters section on the website. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask us or your child’s class teacher as we are happy to answer any questions that you may have.  Any help you can give your child in preparing for this test will be of great benefit to them – thank you.

We look forward to seeing you here at school.  

Best wishes,

Mrs Caroline Harling and Mrs Sam Nunes
