SATs – Changes for 2015/16 Existing assessment framework - NC Levels (Level 4, Level 2b etc) scrapped from September 2014 - up to schools how they assess children! Children at the end of key stages will be assessed as ‘Secondary ready’. Proposals that children are ranked by test score and parents told which percentile their child is in compared to school / national

Report to parents example: In the end of KS2 reading test Sally received a scaled score of 126 (the secondary ready standard is 100) placing her in the top 10% schools nationally. The average scaled score for pupils with the same prior attainment was 114, so she has made more progress in reading than pupils with a similar starting point.

Reading comprehension - no level 6 available Spelling punctuation and grammar - the structure of these papers will be broadly similar to those currently used. However no level 6 paper available but more challenging content within paper.

The most notable change to the tests is in the mathematics papers. The former mental mathematics paper is to be replaced by a 30-minute arithmetic paper. This new paper will consist largely of one-mark number-based questions using context-free calculations. There will be some 2-mark questions for long multiplication and long division calculations. There will be a further two test papers, each lasting 40 minutes and containing 40 marks. These will assess fluency, reasoning and problem solving, in a manner similar to the current tests.  There will be no calculator paper No level 6 paper. As with other tests, raw scores will be converted to a scaled score, with 100 representing the expected standard.
