Levels, Progress and Layered Targets Information Evening for Parents Tuesday 24th September, 2013
PRIMARY EDUCATION • At primary school, children move through two key stages: • Key Stage 1 • Key Stage 2 • Children are formally tested at the end of each key stage in reading, writing and maths. • Quality of teaching and the school’s effectiveness is also judged based on these results.
LEVELS • The National Curriculum states levels and level descriptors to assess a child’s ability in reading, writing and maths. • The levels used in primary school range from Levels 1 -6. • Year 2 average level = Level 2 • Year 6 average level = Level 4
SUB-LEVELS • Levels are then broken down into sub-levels: 1a (high level 1) Level 1 1b (secure level 1) 1c (low level 1)
AGE RELATED EXPECTATIONS • YEAR 1: 1b/1a • YEAR 2: 2b (END OF KS1) • YEAR 3: 2a/3c • YEAR 4: 3c/3b • YEAR 5: 3a/4c • YEAR 6: 4b (END OF KS2)
PROGRESS • Children should make 2 full levels progress in each Key Stage. • Average child= KEY STAGE 1 – Levels 1 and 2 KEY STAGE 2 – Levels 2 and 4 • HUGE focus for Ofsted: Have ALL children made 2 levels progress? • Level 1 at end of KS1 = Level 3 at the end of KS2 (BA) • Level 2 at the end of KS1 = Level 4 at the end of KS2 (A) • Level 3 at the end of KS1 = Level 5 at the end of KS2 (AA)
HOLLY HILL STATISTICS FOR 2 LEVELS PROGRESS • Reading: 84% = 2+ levels (18% = 3+ levels) • Writing: 92% = 2+ levels (58% = 3+ levels) • Maths: 79% = 2+ levels (34% = 3+ levels) • Targets for this year are 95% = 2+ levels!
YEARLY PROGRESS • To enable this Key Stage progress to be possible, children must make roughly 2 sub-levels progress per year group. • For example: 2c 2a 3b 4c 4a 5b
LAYERED TARGETS • Layered targets address whole school areas for development identified by SATs analysis. • For example: SUBTRACTION – YEAR 2 Ready • I can subtract by counting up on a number line. Steady • I can subtract any 2 digit numbers using partitioning/number line. Go • I can subtract 2 digit numbers bridging a ten (Number line).
LAYERED TARGETS • All children’s targets are set using their current levels:
LAYERED TARGETS CTD. • Children then do a pre-assessment to see whereabouts they are in relation to their target. • The teacher can then personalise the learning and ensure that children are working on the skills they need. • Children are then made aware of their target and their current ability. • A letter to parents is also sent out to inform you of your child’s target.
THANK YOU! • Thank you for coming. • Please feel free to stop and ask any questions. • Remember to sign the register if you haven’t already and complete a feedback form on your way out.
