  2. We will be looking at: • The National curriculum 2014 • Age related expectations • Tests and scaled scores • Sample tests and frameworks • KS1 end of year assessments

  3. Expectations • In September 2014 the new National Curriculum raised expectations • This curriculum is now embedded and your children have been working on it since entering year 1 • We are still working with an interim framework for assessment

  4. Scaled Scores • Used for reporting National Curriculum test outcomes • Scaled score help test results to be reported consistently and maintain meaning over time • 2 pupils achieving the same scaled score in different years will have demonstrated the same attainment • National Standard will be 100 • Raw score that equates to 100 might be different each year

  5. Reporting scaled scores • Raw score will be translated to scaled score using a conversion table • Pupils will receive a raw score, scaled score and confirmation of attainment of the national standard

  6. KS1 tests Reading • 2 papers – 1 with text and questions combined, 1 with more challenging text with questions in a separate booklet. • Texts will be unrelated • Different text types e.g. fiction, non-fiction, poetry • Greater focus on comprehension Grammar, punctuation and spelling (not compulsory this year) • One short answer paper • One spelling test - complete sentences with word missing • Emphasis on technical aspects of grammar • No English writing test

  7. Paper 2 – separate question and answer booklet

  8. Grammar paper

  9. Mathematics • 2 papers (1 arithmetic, 1 mathematical reasoning) • Arithmetic test to assess basic mathematical calculations • Questions will cover: • calculations involving the four operations (using 2 digit numbers) • calculations with fractions

  10. Some examples: 87-40 = 8 + 5 + 4 = 50- ? = 20 8 x 10 = 2 x 0 = 35 ÷ 5 = One quarter of 20 65 + ? = 93

  12. How we deliver the tests • Not test situation • Whole class, groups or individuals • All children to sit the suite of tests • Breaks and rests can be incorporated
