  1. Charlton Kings Junior School Information evening for parents

  2. Assessment

  3. At the end of KS1 (Year 2) – until this year • Reading, Writing, Maths and Science • Level 1, 2 or 3 • Or 1c, 1b, 1a, 2c, 2b, 2a, 3c

  4. If you have a child in Year 2 or younger • Tests in reading, (possibly in spelling/grammar)and maths • Teacher assessments

  5. At the end of KS1 At the end of Year 2 you will receive the following information: • For reading, writing and maths, a teacher assessment saying whether your child is working towards, at or at greater depth within the expected standard • Science – a teacher assessment saying whether your child is working at the expected standard or not (if they are not working towards the expected standard, they will be assessed as working at pre-key stage)

  6. At the end of Junior School - the end of KS2 • Previously, SATs were taken in Year 6 for Reading, SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) and Maths (an oral mental maths paper and 2 written papers) • The average 11 year old was expected to achieve a level 4b • Some children could be entered for separate level 6 tests if they were achieving very highly

  7. But this has changed this year! • Your children will still take tests at the end of Year 6 – SATs • The tests will be as follows: • Reading • Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation • Mathematics • Teacher assessments will also be made • The tests will be reported to parents and the secondary schools as a ‘scaled score’ not a level

  8. 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

  9. Reading Test

  10. Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation

  11. Mathematics

  12. 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

  13. How does CKJS assess children as they move through the school? • Children are continually assessed during and after every lesson – this is called formative assessment • This tells the teacher what they need to cover in the next lesson and any inputs individual children might need

  14. How does CKJS assess children as they move through the school? • At the end of each term we have devised tests (in a similar format to the Y6 SATs) which assess the work covered during the term

  15. How does CKJS assess children as they move through the school? • All of the information is considered against what the children should have achieved from the curriculum for each year group • Then an assessment is made of whether they are working towards, working at or working at greater depth when compared to nationally expected attainment

  16. What information will I get with my child’s end of year report? • A teacher assessment of whether they are working towards, at or above national expectations for English and Maths • A grade indicating your child’s effort/attitude towards each subject • A holistic detailed comment of their personal strengths • A detailed comment of their strengths/weaknesses in English and Maths • A summative comment of what they have covered in the year for other subjects • A target for each child which parents can support • Information about your child’s attendance

  17. How to help your child with their work • Continue to support with homework, reading and practise of times tables • Use the school website for guidance on how to help academically

  18. Thank You • 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
