Staunton & Corse C of E Academy Parent information evening 2/3/16

Why has assessment changed? Government initiative ‘Assessment without levels’. No more level 2 as expected achievement for Y2 and level 4 for Y6. Each primary school free to choose own systems. Old system had been altered from original intentions ie abc

What system are Staunton & Corse Academy adopting? We are using ‘Below’, ‘Within’ and ‘Secure’ bands. Bands generally apply to year groups i.e. 1 – 6. These are for end of year expectations so most pupils will not reach within or secure until June/July. Some pupils may be working, for example, at band 3 whilst in Year 5. .   Reception Emerging Expected Exceeding End of Year 1 target End of Year 2 target End of Year 3 target End of Year 4 target End of Year 5 target End of Year 6 target 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s
