1. Preparing for Teacher Assessment at the end of KS1
Tuesday 30th April

2. What is assessed at the end of Year 2?
We have to make a Teacher Assessment judgement in each of the following areas:
Reading
Writing
Maths
Science
Teachers will base their judgements in this area on the child’s work in their books, their homework, their oral responses in lessons and how they do in the Key Stage 1 SATs.

3. What is assessed at the end of Key Stage 1?
National Curriculum Levels have now gone and children will be either:
Working towards the Expected Standard
Working at the Expected Standard
Working at Greater Depth within the Expected Standard
In Science, children will either be ‘Working at the Expected Standard’ or not.

4. Key Stage 1 SATs
The children will take their Key Stage 1 SATs in the final 2 weeks before the May half-term holidays.
We will try to keep this as much like a normal school day as possible. Hopefully the children won’t even know that they haven taken their SATs.
The SATs will be done in the classrooms and will be spread out through the two weeks.
Some children will be entitled to access arrangements that recognise the support that they normally get in the classroom.

6. Wellbeing
We have planned several fun activities to ensure that children still enjoy school over the next few weeks:
Secret Agent Training
Dance workshops
Martial Arts workshop
Healthy eating

7. Key Stage 1 SATs
The papers are marked by the class teachers and the marks are converted to a standardised score: The results of the KS1 SATs are then considered with the other sources of evidence to reach the Teacher Assessment judgement by the end of June. Parents will get a report before the end of the summer term to inform you how your child has done.
Level
Standardised Score
Working at Greater Depth
Working at the Expected Standard
Working towards the Expected Standard

8. How parents can help Keep reading with your child 5 times per week.
Make sure that they talk about text. Use the questions and advice in the planner to prompt them.
Make sure that your child completes their weekly homework.
Continue to practice common exception words.
Try not to put pressure on your child to succeed. We want things to be as normal as possible.
Look out for tiredness towards the end of May.
Don’t share your child’s standardised scores with other parents or on social media.
