Multiplication Check DfE Guidance

 The multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for all year 4 pupils registered at state-funded maintained schools, special schools or academies, including free schools, in England.

 The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics.

 It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.

 In 2026, schools must administer the MTC to all eligible year 4 pupils within a 2 week-window from Monday 1st June 2026.
