Tracking Pupil Progress KS1 & KS2

CES Tracking Progress Resources (KS1&2) Year 2 onwards provide “Expected” target based on prior attainment using national standards of progress School sets own target which may be based on the Expected Marksheets to record annual target and termly teacher assessment in core subjects

YearExpected Progress Y22 sublevels (4 points) Y31 sublevel (2 points) Y42 sublevels (4 points) Y52 sublevels (4 points) Y61 sublevel (2 points) KS1-212 points / 2 whole levels CES Tracking Progress Resources (KS1&2)

Formula applies “Traffic lighting” to identify whether pupils are on, above or below their school target Additional formula columns display the points difference between the teacher assessment and the school target Termly assessments recorded for Autumn, Spring and Summer CES Tracking Progress Resources (KS1&2)

Comment column for end of year which can be included in report to parents Summer progress grade of +, - or = awarded dependent on whether pupil meets school target CES Tracking Progress Resources (KS1&2)

Summary allows you to see average level for the group of pupils displayed in the marksheet Additional information about pupils can be added as columns to marksheets CES Tracking Progress Resources (KS1&2)

Grade distribution graphs provide quick analysis of group performance Group Filters allow tracking of vulnerable groups CES Tracking Progress Resources (KS1&2)

English - calculate English level using mean of Reading, Writing and Speaking & Listening Combined English & Maths - calculate whether a child is “on track” to meet national attainment Additional marksheets for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6: CES Tracking Progress Resources (KS1&2)

Predicting KS2 Attainment

Comparison with national progression Calculations showing points progress from KS1 as well as whether pupil likely to attain Level 4+ or 5+ Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment Resources to make annual predictions in Autumn term for KS2, based on current attainment (Y3 onwards)

“Prediction” calculated by adding previous Summer TA and set number of points that are achievable by end KS2 Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment KS1 TA used to generate an “Expectation” of 2 whole levels progress by end of KS2

Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment YearAmount of Points Y3toY612 pts progress (6 sublevels/2 whole levels) Y4toY610 pts progress (5 sublevels) Y5toY66 pts progress (3 sublevels/1 whole level) Y62 pts (1 sublevel) * Can set the amount of points in school

Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment

Points difference KS1 to Prediction Grades of Y/N awarded if Prediction: 12+ points progress from KS1 Level 4+ Level 5+ Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment Formula column to calculate:

Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment

Where a Prediction falls below that of the previous year it will be highlighted in red Teacher assessments also displayed Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment Review marksheets for each subject display all predictions

Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment

English marksheet generates Prediction and Expectation based on mean of reading, writing and speaking & listening

Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment

Combined English & Maths looks both subjects and whether predicted to achieve level 4+ or 5+ in both Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment

All Subject marksheets display results for all core subjects

Where the Prediction APS falls below the Expection APS (national benchmark), this is highlighted in red Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment Average Points Score (APS) marksheets calculate a Prediction and an Expection APS

Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment

Grade awarded (Y/N) if Prediction is greater than or equal to FFT Estimate Conversion marksheet will convert FFT decimal levels to NC sublevels Predicting Key Stage 2 Attainment Marksheets provide comparison of Prediction with FFT Band D
