  1. Assessment Information Evening St Nicolas C.E. Junior School

  2. The National Curriculum • Introduced in 1989 • Latest version released in 2000 • Update due in 2013/14 still to be announced • Core subjects • Foundation subjects • Attainment targets • Levels

  3. National Curriculum Levels • Range from 1-8 • Level 2 represents expected attainment at the end of Year 2 • Level 4 represents expected attainment at the end of Year 6 • Expected progress during Key Stage 2: 2 levels

  4. English: Speaking and Listening Level 4 • Level 4 • Pupils talk and listen with confidence in an increasing range of contexts. Their talk is adapted to the purpose: developing ideas thoughtfully, describing events and conveying their opinions clearly. In discussion, they listen carefully, making contributions and asking questions that are responsive to others' ideas and views. They use appropriately some of the features of standard English vocabulary and grammar.

  5. English: Reading Level 4 • Level 4 • In responding to a range of texts, pupils show understanding of significant ideas, themes, events and characters, beginning to use inference and deduction. They refer to the text when explaining their views. They locate and use ideas and information.

  6. English: Writing Level 4 • Level 4 • Pupils' writing in a range of forms is lively and thoughtful. Ideas are often sustained and developed in interesting ways and organised appropriately for the purpose of the reader. Vocabulary choices are often adventurous and words are used for effect. Pupils are beginning to use grammatically complex sentences, extending meaning. Spelling, including that of polysyllabic words that conform to regular patterns, is generally accurate. Full stops, capital letters and question marks are used correctly, and pupils are beginning to use punctuation within the sentence. Handwriting style is fluent, joined and legible.

  7. Maths: Number Level 4 • Level 4 • Pupils use their understanding of place value to multiply and divide whole numbers by 10 or 100. In solving number problems, pupils use a range of mental methods of computation with the four operations, including mental recall of multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 and quick derivation of corresponding division facts. They use efficient written methods of addition and subtraction and of short multiplication and division. They add and subtract decimals to two places and order decimals to three places. In solving problems with or without a calculator, pupils check the reasonableness of their results by reference to their knowledge of the context or to the size of the numbers. They recognise approximate proportions of a whole and use simple fractions and percentages to describe these. Pupils recognise and describe number patterns, and relationships including multiple, factor and square. They begin to use simple formulae expressed in words. Pupils use and interpret coordinates in the first quadrant.

  8. Maths: Shape, Space and Measures Level 4 • Level 4 • Pupils make 3D mathematical models by linking given faces or edges, draw common 2D shapes in different orientations on grids. They reflect simple shapes in a mirror line. They choose and use appropriate units and instruments, interpreting, with appropriate accuracy, numbers on a range of measuring instruments. They find perimeters of simple shapes and find areas by counting squares.

  9. Maths: Handling Data Level 4 • Level 4 • Pupils collect discrete data and record them using a frequency table. They understand and use the mode and range to describe sets of data. They group data, where appropriate, in equal class intervals, represent collected data in frequency diagrams and interpret such diagrams. They construct and interpret simple line graphs.

  10. Expected Attainment

  11. Expected Progress

  12. How we will report to you • Parents’ evenings • End of year reports • We will report on your child’s attainment and progress separately • We will use RAG rating to show whether progress and attainment are above, at, or below expected

  13. Example Child 1: Year 5 • Arrived at St Nic’s with: • Reading: Level 2A • Writing: Level 2C • Maths: Level 3 • Current levels: • Reading: Level 3B • Writing: Level 3B • Maths: Level 4A

  14. Example Child 2: Year 4 • Arrived at St Nic’s with: • Reading: Level 1 • Writing: Level 1 • Maths: Level 2C • Current Levels: • Reading: Level 2A • Writing: Level 2C • Maths: Level 2A

  15. Target Setting • Targets are set in English and Maths • Targets are set at a level appropriate to each child • Writing targets on tables • Reading targets in group reading • Maths targets: key areas of Maths • Individual Education Plans

  16. Pupil Progress Meetings • Held termly • Class teacher and senior member of staff • Special Needs Coordinator • All children discussed: progress and attainment • Target children • Individual education plans written • Interventions put in place • Reviewed regularly
