31. How will the tests be marked?
KS2 tests will continue to be marked externally, with the exception of Writing which will be teacher assessed.
You will receive scaled scores for the test, and not levels.  This scaled score will be based, like international tests, on 100 as the norm.  The expected standard will be a score of 100, and scores of above and below 100 will show pupils exceeding and failing to meet the expected standard.

32. SAT’s results and Teacher Assessment
Single set of tests for each subject to cover a wider range of attainment. Tests will have a higher ‘expected standard’ and will include a small number of questions designed to assess the most able pupils.
externally marked on screen and results as scaled scores with 100 as the national expectation
In reading, mathematics and science, one standard statement for ‘working at the expected standard’ and a yes/no judgement only – not used for accountability
In writing, three defined ‘standard statements’: working towards the expected standard; working at the expected standard; working at greater depth within the expected standard
Pupils must consistently demonstrate attainment of all statements within the standard (and of preceding one/s)

33. Reporting at the end of KS2 in 2017 – Pupil X

34. Illness/Unforeseen circumstances
If your child is unable to attend school due to illness, please phone school by 9am.
We leave the decision as to whether a child attends school if unwell to parental judgement.
A child who does not take all of the tests does not get a final “judgement” for that subject.
If, due to unforeseen circumstances, your child is going to be late please phone school ASAP before 9am.
