  1. End of Key Stage 1 (Year 2) Teacher assessment and SATS

  2. How we assess your child. • What are SATs? How and When? What do they look like? • Understanding the terminology of assessment and how it is reported. • How you can help at home. • Go home reassured!

  3. How do we assess children? We assess children everyday to help us plan their next steps. We also assess formally three times a year in each year group. This information feeds into pupil progress meetings where the progress of children is discussed and any issues are flagged up. If your child is not making expected progress then this will be discussed and any actions needed put into place. We will discuss this with you at parents evening or have an informal chat. We call this tracking and it is based on our Teacher Assessment.

  4. So what are SATs? SATs stands for Standard Attainment Tasks and at present come at the end of each Key Stage (Y2 and Y6). SATs are a national and more formal way of assessing a child’s progress. In year 2 this feeds into our Teacher assessment.

  5. Reading • Paper 1 reading and answer booklet • Paper 2 more challenging text and separate answer booklet There is also an optional SPaG paper which we are not choosing to take. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/information-for-parents-2018-key-stage-1-and-2-assessments

  6. When and How will my child take their SATs? • We will be assessing your child during May. We will confirm these dates in Term 5 • We will try our best to make this as low key as possible without too much disruption to their normal learning but the papers will be more formal. • There is help available, for example, questions can be read in the maths paper apart from the maths words. However apparatus can’t be used in either of the two papers. • We can’t read any of the Reading Papers but can work in small groups to keep children on task. • Children will be given the opportunity to attempt each test paper. We can use our discretion to decide if they need a rest break during any of the tests or whether, if appropriate, to stop the test early.

  10. How will I know how my child got on?The papers will be marked by MrsChristmas and MrsChudasama this will give us a raw score.The raw scores will then be converted to scaled scores which will be published in June.The final Teacher Assessment will be written on your child’s end of year report.

  11. A child awarded ascaled score of 100 is judged to have met the ‘national standard’ in the area judged by the test.A child awarded a scaled score of less than 100 is judged to have not yet met the national standard and has performed below the expectation for their age.

  12. But don’t Panic! The scores from the SATs gotowards the final assessment but it is the teacher assessment that will be reported. Writing and Science are all teacher assessed. The teacher assessments will be reported as • Working towardsexpected standard • Working at the expected standard • Working at greater depth

  13. How can I help my child? Reading to and with your child is the most helpful thing you can do (not just for SATs) At this stage it is not just about decoding. It is talking about the text, discussing the main events and locating information. • We work hard to achieve quality writing in Year 2 and to build up writing stamina. Writing at home with notes, messages and shopping lists are great. • Using the four types of sentence would be a bonus. Questions, exclamations, statements and commands.

  14. How can I help in maths? Fluency with numbers is a great early skill and will help with the arithmetic papers. Adding coins, telling the time, naming 2D and 3D shapes are all easy to do at home. Counting in groups is also fab and its 2s 5s and 10s to master with the 3s as challenge. • We spend lots of maths lessons developing problem solving skills and the maths reasoning paper brings all the maths together. • Try and discuss maths in everyday settings. For example Reading scales when cooking. Cutting up pizzas into quarters. Matching up socks and counting in 2s.

  15. Thank you very much for coming…..we hope you are reassured!
