National Expectations
• 85% of children should meet the expectations for the year in May.
• 5 children in each class may not meet the expectations.
Evidence
• We need to ‘Teacher Assess’ the children throughout the year and decide which level they are working at. You will be informed of this at Parent’s Consultation.
• This assessment is done through working with the children during group work, whole class teaching and with individuals. As we teach children, we assess what they can do…that is our job!
Statutory Assessments
• At the end of the year your child will be required to sit some statutory assessments. (may be called SATs)
• The tests will be done in May. There will be a test for Reading (2 papers), Spelling, Grammar and Vocabulary and Maths (2 papers).
• ALL children will be expected to do ALL papers.
Reading – Two Papers
Paper One Read the paragraph and answer the questions relating to that paragraph.
Paper TwoRead the whole text and answer in a separate booklet.
