I know maths is but I'm confused about reading, writing, spelling, handwriting! And is science or any other subject tested?

According to this

Teacher assessments cover science, but written tests only cover reading, writing and maths.

and teacher assessment is reported for maths, reading, writing and science.

not all children will do written tests either.

Science has never been tested at Ks1, it has always been teacher assessment

My son had a test on science I am sure.

Nope - unless the school made one up. Smile
