Sample questions

WRITING 2018There is now a greater focus on the progress children make throughout the school year,

as opposed to a test-day snapshot of what they know.

• Teachers will assess children’s writing composition. Children’s

results for English writing will be a judgement of their work

across Year 6.

• Children's grammar, punctuation and spelling skills will be

assessed as part of their writing, but their creativity and

writing style will also be evaluated.

• Schools will moderate their judgements with other local

schools and may be moderated by external agencies too.

SCIENCE 2018

• ‘Science sampling’ has been reintroduced.

• Schools that are selected will be notified by 23rd April, and are legally

obliged to participate if chosen.

SCIENCE SAMPLING - Every Two Years

Results will be published at a national level; neither schools nor parents will be

given their children’s individual results, and they won’t be used in league tables.

This year, we may be asked to complete a

pilot test. 5 children will be chosen from the

cohort.

EXPLAINING THE RESULTS

“A pupil’s scaled score will be based ontheir raw score. The raw score is the totalnumber of marks a pupil receives in atest, based on the number of questionsthey answered correctly. The pupil’s rawscore will be translated into a scaledscore using a conversion table. A pupilwho achieves the national standard willhave demonstrated sufficient knowledgein the areas assessed by the tests.”DfE 2016

Your child will receive a scaled score based upon the total number of marks that they receive in the test. This will determine if they are working at, below or above the expected standard.

• A scaled score of 110+ indicates your child is working above the national standard.

• A scaled score of 100+ indicates your child is working at the national standard.

• A scaled score of less than 100 indicates your child is working below the national standard.

The national standard will not bedetermined until the tests havebeen completed nationally.

REPORTING RESULTS• Children’s progress, as well as their achievement, will be

measured and reported on in school performance tables.

• Teacher assessments will be passed on to secondary schools

so they can be used as part of the planning process for Year 7

teaching.

• Your child’s results are sent home at the end of the summer

term. These will show you if your child has met the national

standard.

• Try not to put pressure on your child.

• Support with homework and the targets which will be discussed

at parents evening.

• Read regularly and discuss a variety of texts – not just ‘listening’

to your child read.

• Short bursts of arithmetic questions, times tables and problem

solving etc.

• Please remember that the methods that we teach in school are

the methods that the children will be assessed against.

• Please don’t use previous SATs Papers to practise at home as

these are used to prepare and assess children in school.
