  1. Charnwood Primary SchoolKS2 SATS 2018 Parents’ Information Evening

  2. Key Stage 2 SATS The new national curriculum was assessed for the first time in May 2016. This year’s key stage 2 tests are timetabled from Monday 14th May to Thursday 17th May 2018. Science sampling tests Schools selected for science sampling will need to be available to administer the tests within the 2 week period from Monday 4 June 2018.

  3. How SATs have changed over the past few years A new set of tests were introduced in May 2016 to replace the existing ones. There are no level 6 tests: all pupils will take just one set of tests. The tests will include a small number of questions to stretch the most able pupils.

  4. Explaining the Changes • Scaled Scores • All test outcomes at both KS1 and KS2 will be reported as scaled scores. • The national standard will be 100. • Raw scores (the number of marks awarded for each subject) will be translated to scaled scores (a comparable score for each subject) using a conversion table. • Pupils will receive a raw score, a scaled score and confirmation of attainment of the national standard. • The government have said that the “national standard” will be roughly equivalent to an old level 4b.

  5. The English Tests The structure of the test is similar to the previous KS2 reading tests. There is a greater emphasis on the comprehension and vocabulary elements of the new curriculum. • Reading - 50 marks • Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Test – 50 marks -Spelling test – 20 words A Teacher Assessment of writing ability will be made in June 2018.

  6. Reading Test The Reading Test • For this test there will be one reading book and one answer booklet. • The test will last for one hour (including reading time). • There will be a total of 50 marks available. • There will be a range of texts including fiction, non fiction and poetry. Marks will be awarded as follows: • Multiple choice or other selected responses: 10% - 30% • Short responses: 40% - 60% • Extended responses: 20% - 40%

  7. Reading Some questions will test the children on their understanding of vocabulary.

  8. Others will require the children to deduce answers by using words or phrases as evidence.

  9. Some questions will ask the children to find literal answers from the texts.

  10. Grammar and Punctuation Changes to the Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Test: • There is a greater focus on knowing and applying grammatical terminology with the full range of punctuation tested • Technical terms in grammar will be tested. • There will be one test paper for grammar, punctuation and vocabulary and one test paper for spelling. The design of the tests is unchanged. • The grammar test will last for one hour and there will be a total of 50 marks available. • In the grammar test, two thirds of the marks will be for multiple choice questions. The remaining questions will require pupils to write a longer answer.

  11. Spelling There are 20 spelling sentences. The spelling words are tested within thecontext of a sentence. As the sentences are read out to the children, they fill in the correct spellings on their copy of the text.

  12. Maths Tests • There will be three papers: 1 arithmetic paper and 2 mathematical reasoning papers. • There will not be a mental maths paper instead an arithmetic test has been introduced to assess basic mathematical calculations. Questions in the arithmetic test will cover: • straightforward addition and subtraction • more complex calculations with fractions • long division and long multiplication Gridded paper will be provided in answer spaces for questions on the arithmetic paper and for some questions on paper 2.

  13. Maths Tests Arithmetic Test • There will be 36 questions in the arithmetic test and there will be 40 marks available most of which will be worth one mark. • The test will last 30 minutes. Mathematical Reasoning Papers • There will be two mathematical reasoning papers. • Each paper will be of 40 minutes duration with a total of 35 marks per paper available.

  14. Questions taken from Paper 1 - Arithmetic

  15. Questions taken from Paper 2 - Reasoning

  17. What is the pass rate? The pass rate is determined based on an average across the county. Last year, to get a scaled score of 100, children had to score: • 26 out of 50 in Reading • 57/110 in Maths • 36/70 in GPaS (Grammar and Spelling combined) KS2 SATS - May 2011
