Assessment Update Evening
Slide2Quick Recap …..
The new National Curriculum was first introduced in September 2013 with it being statutory from September 2014
Levels removed from September 2014
New National Curriculum – higher expectations
Focuses on fewer areas – greater depth
Slide3Hawes Down Junior’s Approach to Assessment
Use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess day to day learning in Reading, Writing and Maths.
KPIs are taken from the New National Curriculum and tailored to our school – SLT.
On-going assessment throughout the term, supported by the termly tests.
Develops teacher’s knowledge of assessment – less reliant on test data.
More informative to parents – know where to help
and support.

Slide8How Will We Assess Each KPI?
Extensive research –Pupil AssetHas been a joint decision between the Infants and Juniors.Tracking system to track KPIs and each pupil’s progress.
Slide9How We Will Assess Each KPI
Slide10How We Will Assess Each KPI
Slide11How Will This Help Parents?
Your child’s teacher will have a better understanding of your child’s ability and their areas of strength and weakness in reading, writing and Maths.
More tailored feedback at Parents’ Evening.
Reports will also be more tailored to your child.
Slide12Parents’ Evening Progress Sheets
At Parents’ Evening you will receive a new information sheet about your child’s progress this year.
It will show your child’s starting point from the beginning of the year to where they are now.
It will show attainment and progress against the KPIs for Reading, Writing and Maths.
Slide13The Report
Slide14The Report
Gaps are from when we didn’t use Pupil Asset so no record of their assessment.
Colours – hot colours show slow progress, green shows expected progress, blue shows more than expected progress.
Do not get progress and attainment confused – a child can make more than expected progress, but still be below in attainment and vice versa.
Year 6 – only have Rising Star results in Autumn and we now use the old SATs tests.
Literacy – works in a two year block so a child can still be working at Year 3 level in Year 4 – doesn’t mean that they won’t be expected by the end of the year.
Slide15Any Questions?
Slide16SATs
Slide17Who?
All year 6 children who are working towards/at or above the expected standard for year 6.
Slide18When?
Week beginning – Monday
8
th
May.
The children are tested on their
Reading
,
SPAG
(spelling, punctuation and grammar) and
Maths
skills.
Usually begin with reading, then
spag
with maths being spread over two days.
There
aren’t any tests
on the Friday.
Tests are marked externally, except for writing – teacher assessed
.
Slide19Slide20Where?
The children take the tests in their classrooms or maths set room, depending on the test.
Some children may sit the test in a room nearby with a teaching assistant.
Children are to sit in alphabetical order with desks in rows.
All displays, etc. are covered up.
Slide21Why?
In
2015/16 children in all years at Key Stage 1 and 2 are
expected to
study the new national curriculum
.
KS1 (Year 2) and KS2 SATs (Year 6)
now reflect
the new
curriculum – second year.
The Year 6 pupils will be the
second set of pupils
to receive the new tests and the
second set
to receive the new style of reporting
results.
Slide22What?
Reading
One hour – read booklet and answer questions.
There will be a selection of question types, including:
Ranking/ordering
, e.g. ‘Number the events below to show the order in which they happen in the story’
Labelling
, e.g. ‘Label the text to show the title of the story
’
Find and copy
, e.g. ‘Find and copy one word that suggests what the weather is like in the story’
Short constructed response
, e.g. ‘What does the bear eat?’
Open-ended response
, e.g. ‘Look at the sentence that begins
Once upon a time
. How does the writer increase the tension throughout this paragraph? Explain fully, referring to the text in your answer
.’
Out of 50 marks.
Slide23Slide24Slide25Slide26What?
SPAG
The grammar, punctuation and spelling test will consist of two parts: a
grammar and punctuation paper
requiring short answers, lasting 45 minutes, and an
aural spelling test of 20 words
, lasting around 15 minutes.
The grammar and punctuation test will include two sub-types of questions:
Selected response
, e.g. ‘Identify the adjectives in the sentence below’
Constructed response
, e.g. ‘Correct/complete/rewrite the sentence below,’ or, ‘The sentence below has an apostrophe missing. Explain why it needs an apostrophe.’
Slide27Slide28Slide29What?
Maths
Children will sit three papers in maths:
Paper 1:
arithmetic
, 30 minutes
Papers 2 and 3:
reasoning
, 40 minutes per paper
Paper 1 will consist of fixed response questions, where children have to give the correct answer to calculations, including long multiplication and division. Papers 2 and 3 will involve a number of question types, including
:
Multiple choice
True or false
Constrained questions, e.g. giving the answer to a calculation, drawing a shape or completing a table or chart
Less constrained questions, where children will have to explain their approach for solving a problem
Slide30Slide31Slide32Slide33Slide34How?
Old’ national curriculum levels (e.g. Level 3, 4, 5) have now been abolished, as set out in the government guidelines.
From 2016, test scores will be reported as ‘scaled scores’.
Your
child will still be taught with the highest expectations and cover all required elements of the curriculum, similar to previous years.
The new curriculum is more rigorous and sets high expectations which all schools have had to work hard to meet since the beginning of last year
.
Slide35How?
What is meant by ‘scaled scores’?
It is planned that 100 will always represent the ‘national standard’.
Each pupil’s raw test score will therefore be converted into a score on the scale, either at, above or below 100.
The scale will have a lower end point
– 80 and
an upper end point
- 120.
A child who achieves the ‘national standard’ (a score of 100) will be judged to have demonstrated sufficient knowledge in the areas assessed by the tests.
With their school reports, each pupil
will receive:
A raw score (number of raw marks awarded).
A scaled score in each tested subject.
Confirmation of whether or not they attained the national standard
Slide36How?
The scaled score is calculated by adding up all the scores of every child in the country that took each test. This means we have no idea of what the average will be until the tests have been sat.
An average is then calculated and that average equals the scaled score of 100.
If you are above 100 then you are seen as being above age related
expectations – Greater Depth = 115+.
If you are below 100 then you are seen as working below age related expectations.
The average will change each year so we can never be certain what will pass from year to year. It all depends on the cohort of
children and the expectations of the government for that year.
Slide37How Can You Help At Home?
Ensure your child does their revision homework.
Look at the areas of weakness your child has from their tests.
