  1. Charlton Kings Junior School Information evening for year 6 parents

  2. End of Key Stage Assessment

  3. At the end of Infant School – the end of KS1- 2015 cohort • Reading, Writing, Maths and Science • Level 1, 2 or 3 • Or 1c, 1b, 1a, 2c, 2b, 2a, 3c

  4. At the end of Junior School • Your children will take tests – SATs (during the week starting 13th May 2019) • The tests will be as follows: • Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation • Reading • Mathematics • The tests will be reported as a ‘scaled score’

  5. What is a scaled score? • A scaled score will be a score based around 100 • 100 will be the score achieved by an average 11 year old – they will be at national expectations • Children scoring below 100 will be achieving below national expectations • Children scoring above 100 will be achieving above national expectations

  6. How will scaled scores be calculated? • Scaled scores are based on a raw score and will be calculated from the average score of all children taking the test in 2019. • The raw score conversion will differ to previous years’ results as they are based on the current year.

  7. 2018 raw score to standardised thresholds • Reading 28(out of 50) = 100 (40 for 110) • Maths 61 (out of 110) = 100 (96 for 110) • Grammar, punctuation and spelling 38(out of 70) = 100 (56 for 110)

  8. What does this mean for your child? Your child will take the following tests: • Monday 13th May – SPAG • A 45 minute grammar and punctuation test followed by a 20 minute spelling test • Tuesday 14th May - Reading • A 60 minute test paper based on a reading booklet • Wednesday 15th May - Mathematics • A maths arithmetic paper and a reasoning paper • Thursday 16th May - Mathematics • A second reasoning paper

  16. Writing – teacher assessment • Teacher assessments will put your child as: • Working towards the expected standard • Working at the expected standard • Working at greater depth within the expected standard • Your child has to show they are secure in each statement, across a range of their work, before the teacher can assess them at that standard

  21. What do the assessments mean for my child’s future? • SATs are used by the government to predict GCSE grades (Progress 8) • Schools monitor children’s performance against predictions and put in support/intervention if not on track

  22. What information will I get with my child’s end of year report? • A written report from school • Scaled scores for Reading, SPAG and Maths • Teacher assessments indicating: • Whether your child is working towards, at or at greater depth within the expected standard for writing • Whether your child is working at the expected standard for science

  23. What can parents do to help? • Keep the whole process as positive as possible – it is a chance for your child to show how much they have learnt • Encourage your child to enjoy the process and to feel confident • Make sure they have some 'down‘ time and time to relax and play (outside and in the fresh air!) • Help them achieve a healthy lifestyle – a balanced diet, plenty of exercise and a good night’s sleep every night

  24. How to help your child with their work • Continue to support with homework, reading and revision of times tables • Use the school website for guidance • The calculation policy shows the calculation strategies your child has been taught to use • The grammar glossary explains the terminology the children need to understand

  25. Helping your child Please discuss the SPAG and maths papers sent home with your child • Use them as a great opportunity to celebrate the things they have done well • It would be useful to ask them about any areas they are finding challenging and offer them support with these – either directly or by letting their class teacher know

  26. Thank You • We will send a letter home at the end of the week with links to the documents shared this evening along with your child’s marked papers (for your use only) • All the information from tonight will be on the school website under the ‘Parents’ tab • Please speak to your child’s class teacher should you have any further questions or concerns
