  1. End of Key Stage Assessments Information for parents

  2. Assessment of your child • Continuous assessments are made throughout their time at school • These assessments help to inform their learning • They are made by school staff and monitored closely by the class teacher and head teacher • Targets are set for each child at the end of year • Results are for the school

  3. End of Key Stage assessments In our school these are completed at: • the end of the Foundation Stage- reception • the end of Key Stage 1 (Year 2) The results are shared both locally with the county and nationally

  4. Year 2 Assessments • Formally known as SAT’s • SAT’s were used to assess progress through tests and tasks carried out over a a short period of time.Only the results of the tests/tasks made the judgement on the pupil. • Now it has changed to only Teacher Assessment

  5. Teacher Assessment • Assessment levels are awarded at the end of the year in reading, writing, speaking and listening, mathematics and science • The levels are awarded from teacher assessments made throughout the year • SAT’s tests and tasks are still used to help inform and support teacher’s judgements

  6. Assessments • Each child will complete: • Maths task/test • Short Writing Task • Long Writing Task • Spelling Test • Reading task/test

  7. Each child’s progress is monitored by HT and CT • Targets for your child have been set for the end of Year 2 • Progress is monitored throughout the year • Additional support is given to children not on track to achieve their target • Additional support may be given to help children exceed their target

  8. What are the results used for? • To assess progress made by each child • To set targets for the end of Key Stage 2 • The school is judged on the attainment and achievement of the pupils

  9. A level is awarded for each area of learning assessed. What are the levels? • Level 1 (or ‘p’ level if level 1 is not achieved) • Level 2c • Level 2b • Level 2a • Level 3

  10. What do the levels mean? • At the end of Key Stage 1 a child achieving level 2b is making average progress. • A child achieving level 2a and level 3 is making above average progress • A child achieving level 1 or a ‘W’ is making below average progress.

  11. On a final note…….. • Remember these assessments help the school to plan learning for your child; they will never be used on a CV! • Children all progress at different rates, we focus on their progress as well as attainment.
