6. How do we assess your child’s attainment?
STAT Sheffield – continuous assessment
S.A.Ts-
Reading test- 2 papers
Grammar and punctuation test
Spelling
Mathematics- 2 papers

7. Teacher Assessment
-Based on the work the children have done throughout the year
-Based on day to day assessment
-Based on more formal assessments during the year. These are done on a half termly basis.

8. Assessing without levels
Government changes in assessment mean that schools are now assessing children’s attainment in a new way.
This will now mean that children are assessed to be working broadly below, at or above the expected level for their year group. The assessments are on-going throughout the year. Westerton is now using- STAT Sheffield.

9. Working Towards the Expected Standard

10. Working at the Expected Standard
The pupil can write a narrative about their own and others’ experiences (real and fictional), after discussion with the teacher:
demarcating most sentences with capital letters and full stops and with some use of question marks and exclamation marks
using sentences with different forms in their writing (statements, questions, exclamations and commands)
using some expanded noun phrases to describe and specify
using present and past tense mostly correctly and consistently
using co-ordination (or / and / but) and some subordination (when / if / that / because)
segmenting spoken words into phonemes and representing these by graphemes, spelling many correctly
spelling many common exception words*
spelling some words with contracted forms*
adding suffixes to spell some words correctly in their writing e.g. –ment, –ness, –ful, –less, –ly*
using the diagonal and horizontal strokes needed to join letters in some of their writing
writing capital letters and digits of the correct size, orientation and relationship to one another and to lower case letters
using spacing between words that reflects the size of the letters.
