KS2 SATs Tests – Additional Time Pupils automatically qualify for additional time if they: have a statement of special educational needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) use the modified large print (MLP) or braille versions of the tests Pupils with a statement of SEN or an EHCP are automatically allowed up to 25% additional time, except for the spelling paper which is not strictly timed. Schools do not need to complete an application for additional time for these pupils. However, applications do need to be made for pupils that are waiting for a statement of SEN or an EHCP to be confirmed. Additional time to complete the tests may be appropriate for other pupils who: require additional time under test conditions to properly demonstrate their knowledge and understanding use the standard or enlarged print versions of the tests Schools should also consider whether the use of rest breaks during the test might be more beneficial to pupils than additional time to complete the test. 2019 KS2 Access Arrangement Guidance There is set criteria for a child to achieve additional time. We will inform you if your child qualifies for additional time.
KS2 SATs Tests – Readers, Prompters and Scribes Scribes - If a pupil needs a scribe because of an injury that occurred in the week before the tests, schools may allow up to 25% additional time as well as the use of the scribe. This is only for circumstances where the pupil is unfamiliar with working with a scribe. Readers - Readers are usually teachers or support assistants. If a pupil requests it, the reader may also read back any part of a pupil’s written response to a question. Reading Paper - The English reading test must not be read to individuals or to a group, except for the general instructions. However, you may rephrase the explanations provided in the test instructions of the reading answer booklet to ensure that all pupils understand them. Prompters – Prompters are usually teachers or support assistants. 2019 KS2 Access Arrangement Guidance
After the tests The papers are collected by several members of the Senior Leadership Team. The papers are sent away to be marked. We do not receive the papers back, only pdf versions. We send the SATs results home with their end of year report.
Mark Scheme – Raw Score and Scaled Score The raw score is the total number of marks. To convert each pupil’s raw score to a scaled score, look up the raw score and read across to the appropriate scaled score. A scaled score of 100 or more shows the pupil has met the expected standard in the test. These are last years raw and scaled scores.
