5. Feeling unwell/late
Unless they have something contagious – they need to be in
Please don’t book dentist appointments for that week!
If they miss a maths paper they can’t retake it
If you are running late, please inform the school

6. Raw and Standardised scores
Each pupil will get a raw score, based on the number of questions they got right
This is then converted into a standardised score, with 100 being age-expected and 110 being greater depth
Last year, in reading, a raw score of 26 out of 50 equated to a standardised score of 100
A score of 39 equated to 110

How You Can Help
Over the holidays the children need time to be children
In maths, smart revision is needed with focused work being on the areas they struggle with
There are some ‘easy wins’, for example fractions

10. Topics to revise
Hopefully you will all have been given a sheet as you came in today, that has a list of key areas for your child to revise. These are areas we KNOW are very likely to come up in the papers this year. The more work they can do on them, the better!
