3. What does Assessment mean at Moorfield?
SATs are simply a snapshot of a child’s overall performance
To form a more complete picture of a child’s abilities the following tests take place:
Planned assessment tasks
Regular assessments of work at individual and group level
Formal whole class testing
All of the above information is made available to your child’s High School. In addition to this Yr7 teachers spend time with Mr Heaton and Mr. Collinson to share further information.
A significant amount of assessment information was passed on from previous class teachers.

If your child is unwell please do not send them into school. There will be another opportunity for your child to take the test at a later time.
School sends the tests away to be marked and receives the marked scripts by early July.
Please do not ask your teacher for results at this point as a checking process has to be completed.
If the school requests a review of the marking you will be made aware of the outcomes by early September.
Some children will be allocated 25% extra time.

19. Final thoughts …. All the tests are sent away to be marked.
School does not receive the scanned scripts, together with the raw scores until early July.
A rigorous internal checking process then ensues.
Scaled scores (taken from the raw scores) will be reported to you via the end of school report.
The final statement (met/not met) of attainment will also be reported.
School is unaware of where the benchmarks will be set.
