4. How do we teach mixed year classes?

Mixed year classes are commonplace and teachers are adept at teaching them

5. What’s the Framework for end of KS1?
Attainment at the end of KS1 is teacher assessment, using test outcomes as additional evidence
Teachers collect evidence for a comprehensive list of things children are able to do
Children cannot be awarded the standard without significant evidence of each strand in that standard
Children cannot be awarded a standard without having full evidence of the standard below

6. Why does my child not have the same work or homework as others in the year?
Children working on the Y2 curriculum will all be at different levels within it
Teachers plan work for your child’s “next steps”. This may not be the same as another year two child’s next steps
Teachers might be trying to fill a gap in the evidence bank
Teachers may be doing different topics at different times

7. What happens at the end of the year?
Children take KS1 sats in May
Evidence (children’s work and test results) is used to come to a judgement whether the child is at ARE (age related expectations)
This is moderated with other schools in the Consortium
This CAN be externally moderated by Warwickshire Authority (we were externally moderated in 2016 and 2017)
