4. English Reading One hour to read and answer questions
Questions increase in level of difficulty
Three texts
Children are familiar with the type of test previously given, although as this year’s tests are on the new curriculum we can only predict what we think they will be like.
We have seen a sample test and are basing our assumptions on this.

5. Emphasis on technical terms Paper one – 45 minutes
Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling
Emphasis on technical terms
Paper one – 45 minutes
Paper two – approx 15 minutes, 20 spellings
Again, the children are having practise of the type of test we believe they will be given.

6. Maths 3 papers Arithmetic – 30 minutes (+ - x / )
Reasoning – 40 minutes each paper
Specific methods required
The mental maths test is replaced by an arithmetic test. Please see Miss Purkis if you have any questions about the specified methods of calculation the children must use.

7. Scaled Scores
A scaled score of 100 will always represent the “expected standard”
Your child’s raw score will be converted to a scaled score using a conversion table
You will receive the raw score, a scaled score and confirmation of whether they attained the expected standard
You can expect to receive this information towards the middle of July.

8. Test Administration
All tests will be administered in accordance with STA (Standards & Testing Agency) guidance
Tests must take place on nominated day
School can decide on time
H/T can apply for a variation if a child is absent, however this isn’t automatic
Monitoring visits from LA or STA

9. Access Arrangements Tests will take place in classroom
Some children are entitled to special arrangements and therefore will sit tests elsewhere
Some children are entitled to additional time (either because an EHC plan is in place or there is a specific need)

10. Teacher Assessment Only focus for writing assessment Also TA for reading, maths, science Based on performance in variety of contexts
Your child’s teacher is continually assessing against the Interim framework as required.

11. Working toward the expected standard
