Slide3Slide4Following the introduction of a new National Curriculum in September 2014, the government decided that ‘levels’ were no longer suitable for assessing children’s learning.
Slide5The problem with levels …
Too narrow
Pace – ‘too many things quickly’.
Gaps in learning
Slide6We believe this system is complicated and difficult to understand, especially for parents. It also encourages teachers to focus on a pupil’s current level, rather than consider more broadly what the pupil can actually do. Prescribing a single detailed approach to assessment does not fit with the curriculum freedoms we are giving schools.

Good strong foundations.
Broad deep understanding.No racing too far, too fast and too highWith a new assessment system we are aiming for:
Slide8In the future:
Instead of levels, children will be assessed against
the end of year expectations for each subject.
•Schools have the freedom to develop their own
approach to assessing progress.
Slide9Term 1
Term 2
Term 3
End of Year expectations Please note that the expectations for what each year group is expected to achieve are higher than in the previous curriculum.
Children who grasp concepts quickly will be challenged through ‘mastery’ or ‘deeper learning’ tasks which will allow them to apply their learning in different contexts through problem solving and investigation.
This is how children will progress through the curriculum:
Slide10What is greater depth?
Here are examples from the Year 3 Maths Curriculum:
Slide11End of Year Expectation for Year 3
I
can add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of
column
addition and subtraction.
Slide12Working at Greater Depth Year 3
I
can add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of
column addition
and subtraction.
Slide13The national
picture of assessment in education remains one of change which means that some practice in our school will change over time too.
Slide14Assessment at Cononley Primary School
We carry out teacher assessments of our children on a daily
basis:
T
hrough questioning and discussion to check that they understand. Marking work regularly to check learning. Giving children feedback so that they know how to improve.Giving children tools to assess their own work and time to make improvements.
Slide15When we report our assessments of your children’s learning, we will use the following descriptions:

Slide17Please note that the expectations for what each year group is expected to achieve are higher than in the previous curriculum.
The expectation is that the vast majority will work within their own year group
expectations
.
In exceptional circumstances, some children may access work from either above or below their year group.
Slide18We will also carry out tests every term and national tests / assessments as follows:
EYFS – Early Years Foundation Stage Profiles (July 2016)
EYFS - Baseline Assessment (September 2016)
Y1- Phonics CheckY2 – SATSY6 – SATS
