  1. Witham St Hughs AcademyAcademic Performance Monday 6th March, 2017

  2. Aims of The Evening • To find out more about how the academic performance of children is measured and tracked • To understand what is expected of children by the end of Year 2

  3. National Curriculum Levels ?

  4. Year 2 outcomes • In Years Two, there are 3 outcomes: • Working Towards: the Nationally Expected Standard • Working at the:the Nationally Expected Standard • At Greater Depth: within the Nationally Expected Standard.

  5. Year 2 scaled score A scaled score is the total number of correct questions (raw score) that have been converted onto a consistent and standardised scale. The raw score is the total number of marks a pupil scores in a test based on the number questions they answered correctly. This is based on a total of two papers. For example, Reading Paper 1 and Reading Paper 2. A scaled score of 100 will always represent the expected standard on the test.

  6. Year 2 scaled scores • Test Scores (raw scores) will be converted to Scaled Score: • Working Towards : Below the Nationally Expected • Below 100 • Meeting : Meeting the Nationally Expected Standard • 100+ • Exceeding (at greater depth): Above the Nationally Expected Standard.

  7. Our Academy Approach

  8. Assessment: KS1 SATs • Year 2 SATs • Administered during the month of May • Marked in school by the class teacher • Teacher assessment also informs the final decision • Assessments moderated by school advisor • Covers: maths, reading, writing and SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) • No formal test for science but progress in science is reported

  9. School Level: Important Points • We expect children of different natural ability to progress at different rates • Pupil assessments are more accurate / meaningful the older the child is • Just like physical growth, children’s academic growth happens more quickly some times than others • Children can regress

  10. How We Check Learning • Termly Assessments: [] Reading [] Writing [] Spelling and Grammar [] Mathematics – Arithmetic and Reasoning • ‘Pastoral Forums’ held each Half Term • Children taught / grouped according to need (different groups weekly) • Additional adults used to target specific needs

  11. How We Communicate Progress • Previously, the level your child is working at was communicated as a number and a letter but this is no longer the case. • Now, we assess in terms of whether pupils are: • Pre-Key Stage • Working towards the expected level • Working at the expected level • Working at greater depth within the expected level

  12. Why Accurate Assessment Is Important? If a child attains: • The expected level for English and maths in Year 2 then: • They should attain the expected level for English and maths in Year 6 which is important because: • 85% of children gaining the expected level in English and maths at Year 6 will gain high GCSE grades.

  13. Year 2

  14. Building A Picture We use: • Reading • Guided reading records • Individual reading records with your child • Reading assessments once a term • Miscue assessments • Comprehension tasks • Maths • Maths work and station sheet assessments on a daily or weekly basis including group work • Maths tests every half term • Writing • Weekly pieces of writing over a range of topics which are marked and assessed.

  15. The Formal Assessments Each child will sit 2 separate papers for maths. • Mental Arithmetic • Reasoning There are 2 reading papers which all pupils are expected to complete. • Paper 1 (Lower demand, questions and text in one booklet) • Paper 2 (Higher demand, separate question and answer booklet) There are 2 SPAG papers for all children to complete. • Spelling • Punctuation and Grammar
