  1. End of Key Stage Assessment Meeting Year 2 22nd February 2017

  2. National Curriculum Subjects The National Curriculum, taught to all pupils, is made up of blocks of years, known as key stages: Years 1 and 2 are known as Key Stage 1 Years 3 to 6 are known as Key Stage 2

  3. The National Curriculum • English, Maths, Science - Core Subjects • Geography, History, Art, DT, P.E, Music, Computing – Foundation Subjects • Schools also have to teach R.E, although parents have the right to remove their child from the R.E. Curriculum. We follow the Beds Agreed Syllabus. • Schools are also advised to teach P.S.H.E. and a modern foreign language from Key Stage 2.

  4. End of Key Stage Assessments • Tasks are undertaken near the end of KS1 in May: • Maths (arithmetic and reasoning) • Reading (comprehension) • English (grammar, punctuation and spelling) • These tasks are used to support the teacher’s on-going assessment of your child’s progress. Only the teacher’s assessment is reported to the local authority.

  5. What is Teacher Assessment? • Teachers constantly gather evidence about pupil performance. • This on-going assessment is more reliable than tests which are just a snapshot of achievement. • Not all children will achieve their best in the tests and some may excel. Teacher assessment helps to create a balanced picture.

  6. New ‘Levels’ At the end of each year children are now assessed on their understanding of that year’s curriculum requirements. They will either be: Emerging Expected Exceeding

  7. Assessment • The tests can be taken at a time the school chooses. • The results are not reported separately but are used to help the teacher assess your child's work. • The teacher assessment is then moderated by your local authority. • This is to make sure teachers make consistent assessments of children's work.

  14. Key Points • If it is appropriate, children can have the Maths paper read to them. • No help can be given with the Reading, grammar or spelling tests. • Teacher assessments (with evidence) are more important than test results. • Assessments have no major impact on the child’s future education as assessments are done regularly to inform teachers of their planning.
