  5. New Curriculum Key Changes • SATs at KS1 and KS2 will continue, but will be more demanding. The new versions will be used from summer 2016. • National curriculum levels will be removed and not replaced – instead we will compare against expected progress and knowledge using the headings ‘Emerging’, ‘Expected’ or ‘Exceeding’ • We will use a system across the school called Target Tracker.

  6. The New Curriculum • The new curriculum represents a substantial increase in both the amount of subject matter being taught and the mathematical levels expected of children at each age range from Y3 to Y6. In general, much of what was traditionally taught in Y5/Y6 (3-digit multiplication using formal written methods, formal column addition and subtraction of 4-digit numbers as well as amounts of money, time intervals involving 24 hour clock, two-place decimals ...) now has to be completed and may be assessed by the end of Y4. By the end of Y6, the children may be assessed on addition/subtraction of fractions including mixed numbers, multiplication and division of fractions by integers, formal algorithms for multiplication and division of four-digit by two-digit numbers, as well as more advanced calculations involving decimals and percentages, for example using the fact that 3/8 is 0.375.

  11. Shhhhh…. SATS - Standard Assessment Tests Why do we do SATs? SATs help teachers – and you – learn more about your child's strengths and weaknesses. Teachers can compare how well each child is doing with their peers, both in their school and across the country. They can also measure how much each child improves from one Key Stage to another.  Also, head teachers, local authorities and the Department for Education use the results to help identify schools that are struggling and, if a school is doing really well, it can share what it's doing right with other schools.

  12. SATs Key Information • SATs are compulsory. • Not pass or fail. • Formal test conditions in the classroom. • Handwriting and spelling are crucial • SATs cover English reading, grammar, punctuation and spelling (SPaG), and maths. Other subjects including writing, speaking and listening and science are teacher assessed and may be chosen for formal moderation.
