What does this mean for schools? “The national curriculum is just one element in the education of every child. The national curriculum provides an outline of core knowledge around which teachers can develop exciting and stimulating lessons.” The framework allows schools the freedom to design and plan their own programme of education for their pupils; supporting, scaffolding and stretching all abilities.
National Curriculum Tests Summer 2016 - The first Key Stage 2 tests in English, Maths and Science. Summer 2014 – sample questions will be available Summer 2015 – a sample of full tests will be available
Ready or Not? • Driving principle is ‘secondary readiness’: ‘We believe that the single most important outcome that any primary school should strive to achieve is making sure as many of its pupils as possible are “secondary ready” by the time they leave.’ (DfE)
Levels at KS1 - 3 • National Curriculum levels will be removed and not replaced • It will be up to schools to decide how they measure children’s progress • It will be up to schools to decide the language they use in reporting where pupils are at • Schools’ assessment systems should demonstrate whether or not children have acquired the core knowledge set out in the curriculum. Packages available include: Assessment Manager, Classroom Monitor, Primary Tracker and school-customised trackers • Ofsted ‘will expect to see evidence of pupils’ progress, with inspections informed by the school’s chosen pupil tracking data’
Accountability in Primary Schools • New ‘floor standards’ will be based on both SATs results and pupil progress • Primary Schools will be expected to get at least 85% of their pupils to the new ‘secondary ready’ standard
