Understanding Levels, Progress, and Targeted Goals in Primary Education

Join us for an informative evening dedicated to understanding how primary education assesses children's progress. We will discuss the key stages of learning, the levels in reading, writing, and mathematics, and how children's performance is tracked. Learn about age-related expectations, sub-levels, and the importance of making 2 full levels of progress through each key stage. You'll also discover how layered targets help personalize learning for each child. Bring your questions and get involved in your child’s educational journey!

  1. Levels, Progress and Layered Targets Information Evening for Parents Tuesday 24th September, 2013

  2. PRIMARY EDUCATION • At primary school, children move through two key stages: • Key Stage 1 • Key Stage 2 • Children are formally tested at the end of each key stage in reading, writing and maths. • Quality of teaching and the school’s effectiveness is also judged based on these results.

  3. LEVELS • The National Curriculum states levels and level descriptors to assess a child’s ability in reading, writing and maths. • The levels used in primary school range from Levels 1 -6. • Year 2 average level = Level 2 • Year 6 average level = Level 4

  4. SUB-LEVELS • Levels are then broken down into sub-levels: 1a (high level 1) Level 1 1b (secure level 1) 1c (low level 1)

  5. AGE RELATED EXPECTATIONS • YEAR 1: 1b/1a • YEAR 2: 2b (END OF KS1) • YEAR 3: 2a/3c • YEAR 4: 3c/3b • YEAR 5: 3a/4c • YEAR 6: 4b (END OF KS2)

  6. PROGRESS • Children should make 2 full levels progress in each Key Stage. • Average child= KEY STAGE 1 – Levels 1 and 2 KEY STAGE 2 – Levels 2 and 4 • HUGE focus for Ofsted: Have ALL children made 2 levels progress? • Level 1 at end of KS1 = Level 3 at the end of KS2 (BA) • Level 2 at the end of KS1 = Level 4 at the end of KS2 (A) • Level 3 at the end of KS1 = Level 5 at the end of KS2 (AA)

  7. HOLLY HILL STATISTICS FOR 2 LEVELS PROGRESS • Reading: 84% = 2+ levels (18% = 3+ levels) • Writing: 92% = 2+ levels (58% = 3+ levels) • Maths: 79% = 2+ levels (34% = 3+ levels) • Targets for this year are 95% = 2+ levels!

  8. YEARLY PROGRESS • To enable this Key Stage progress to be possible, children must make roughly 2 sub-levels progress per year group. • For example: 2c 2a 3b 4c 4a 5b

  9. LAYERED TARGETS • Layered targets address whole school areas for development identified by SATs analysis. • For example: SUBTRACTION – YEAR 2 Ready • I can subtract by counting up on a number line. Steady • I can subtract any 2 digit numbers using partitioning/number line. Go • I can subtract 2 digit numbers bridging a ten (Number line).

  10. LAYERED TARGETS • All children’s targets are set using their current levels:

  11. LAYERED TARGETS CTD. • Children then do a pre-assessment to see whereabouts they are in relation to their target. • The teacher can then personalise the learning and ensure that children are working on the skills they need. • Children are then made aware of their target and their current ability. • A letter to parents is also sent out to inform you of your child’s target.

  12. THANK YOU! • Thank you for coming. • Please feel free to stop and ask any questions. • Remember to sign the register if you haven’t already and complete a feedback form on your way out.
