Key Stage 1 SATs Nazeing Primary School 2018
Assessment at the end of KS1 At the end of Year 2, children will sit tests in: • Reading • Maths • Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar These will be set externally and marked by your child’s teacher to help inform teacher assessment. There is no test for Writing. This will be judged using teacher assessment only. The tests will take place during May 2018. Any children who didn’t meet the Phonics Standard in Year 1 will be re-tested during the week beginning Monday 11th June 2018.
Performance descriptors Previously the children were assessed using the ‘old’ national curriculum levels - 1, 2, 3). They have been abolished. Children are judged to be either: • Working towards the national standard • Working at the national standard • Working at greater depth within the national standard The new curriculum is more rigorous and sets high expectations, which all schools have had to work hard to meet in the last two years. Test scores are now reported as ‘scaled scores’.
Scaled Scores What is meant by ‘scaled scores’? • It is planned that 100 will always represent the ‘national standard’. • Each pupil’s raw test score will therefore be converted into a score on the scale, either at, above or below 100. • The scale will have a lower end point somewhere below 100 and an upper end point above 100. • A child who achieves the ‘national standard’ (a score of 100) will be judged to have demonstrated sufficient knowledge in the areas assessed by the tests.
Scaled Score Examples:
On publication of the test results:
• A child awarded a scaled score of 100 is judged to have met the ‘national standard’
in the area judged by the test.
• A child awarded a scaled score of more than 100 is judged to have exceeded the
national standard and demonstrated a higher than expected knowledge of the
curriculum for their age.
• A child awarded a scaled score of less than 100 is judged to have not yet met the
national standard and performed below expectation for their age.
• Marking guidance for KS1 tests will include conversion tables. Teachers will use
these to translate pupil’s raw scores into scaled scores to see whether each pupil
has met the national standard. Teachers will use the scaled scores to inform their
teacher assessment judgements.
Teacher assessment frameworks • Following the removal of teacher assessment levels, teacher assessment frameworks are in place to support teachers in making robust and accurate judgements for pupils at the end of key Stage 1. • The frameworks set out the standard(s) a child will be assessed against at the end of the key stage for reading, writing, mathematics and science. • To show that pupils have met the standard, teachers will need to have evidence that a pupil demonstrates consistent attainment of all the statements within the standard.

What are the age related expectations for Writing? Main difference between expected standard and working above is the use of the word MOST. These aspects need to be seen consistently in their writing.
What are the age related expectations for Mathematics?
Mathematics Children will sit two tests: Paper 1 and Paper 2: • Paper 1: Arithmetic - lasts approximately 20 minutes (but this is not strictly timed). It covers calculation methods for all operations. • Paper 2: Reasoning - lasts for approximately 35 minutes, which includes time for five aural questions. Pupils will still require calculation skills and questions will be varied including multiple choice, matching, true/false, completing a chart or table or drawing a shape. Some questions will also require children to show or explain their working out.

What can parents do to support their child at home? • First and foremost, support and reassure your child that there is nothing to worry about and that they should always just try their best. Praise and encourage. • Listen to your child read regularly and record comments in their diary. • Help them to learn to read and write the spellings each week. • Ensure that they are familiar with key vocabulary e.g. adjective, noun, verb, past/present tense. • Ask them to explain homework tasks to you and encourage them to complete the tasks independently. Try to get them used to reading through their writing and checking for correct punctuation/tense. • Ensure your child has the best possible attendance at school • Make sure your child has a good sleep and healthy breakfast every morning!
Reading
Listening to your child read can take many forms:
• First and foremost, focus developing an enjoyment and love of reading.
• Enjoy stories together – reading stories to your child is equally as important as listening to your child read.
