Data Key Stage 2 National Reading and Numeracy Tests Internal teacher assessments ALN Attendance

Cognitive Abilities Test A standardised assessment that helps identify pupils’ strengths, weaknesses and learning preferences, providing accurate, reliable and objective assessment data that is essential to the shaping of an individual’s learning.

Cognitive Abilities Test CATs measures four principle areas of reasoning – verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial awareness Rich data provided by CATs gives a comprehensive profile of pupils’ reasoning abilities, producing standardised scores for each of the four abilities.

Cognitive Abilities Test This data can be used to build an understanding of an individual’s potential and learning style and to inform the development of effective teaching and learning programmes and interventions.

Cognitive Abilities Test Standardised Scores Each pupil has a score for each of the tests These are calculated based on their raw score and their age at the time of the test 100 is the expected level for pupils Pupils achieving over 115 have a strength in this area Pupils achieving less than 85 may need additional support in this area

Cognitive Abilities Test Target setting We use the results of the CATs tests in conjunction with key stage 2 data, national test data and knowledge of the individual pupils to set targets for the end of key stage 3.

Tests Pupils will be tested week beginning 5 th May. 3 tests Numeracy Reasoning Numeracy Procedural Reading School exams will take place w/b 8 th June 2015.

How will the tests be administered? All tests will take place in the theatre or hall. The pupils will sit at individual exam desks. The exams will be administered and supervised by exam invigilators.

Reading (Literacy) If the pupils highlight more than four words then the answer is marked incorrect

How can you help your child in Literacy? Read with your child Welsh Government suggests 10 minutes per day will increase pupils’ performance. Discuss what has been read with your child – Sequence the events/topics in the text – Ask them to find a word with the same meaning as … – Ask for explanations about content – Encourage pupils to give opinions.

How can you help your child in Literacy? Encourage thinking about writing Plan and prepare before writing – spider diagrams, boxing up sheets; Proofreading; Editing and redrafting. Across the Curriculum Encourage them to look at their exercise books; Practise spellings – mnemonics; look-cover-write-check; Look at their literacy targets after book marking and practise those skills by making corrections/retrying a task.

Within numeracy the strands are: developing numerical reasoning using number skills using measuring skills using data skills Numeracy

Numeracy Procedural Pupils are expected to write their answers within the boxes provided

Numeracy Reasoning Numerical reasoning will require literacy and numeracy skills. The questions are context based and will be presented via a power point presentation All pupils will require a calculator for this test

How can you help your child in Numeracy? Encourage using numerical skills in everyday life Time Money Measuring / weighing Practise multiplication tables regularly.

How can you help your child in Numeracy? Learn all formulae The best way of doing this by using the look - cover – write - check technique Practise methods Look at a question, work out the answer and then check if it is correct. Check all numerical work carefully
