YOUR TURN….
Listen carefully to the question.
I will say each question twice. Answer within the time given.
Avoid jotting anything down, it might slow you up.
KS2 SATS 2014
Papers must be administered on the day set.
PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CHILD IS IN SCHOOL AT THE START OF
THE DAY EACH OF THE TEST DAYS.
The class will be split up and work in different rooms for the tests –
this is so that there is more space to work in comfort, less chance to
copy or look at another child’s work. It also helps ease the
administration.
If you child is absent for one or more tests, and returns to school
within five days, tests can only administered to them if we can
confirm the child has not had any contact with other Year six children
during the absence. The school has to apply for permission to
administer the test.
If your child is absent for more than five days they cannot do the
tests.
KS2 SATS 2014
We do not mark the assessments They are sent off
immediately after the tests.
All children will be assessed by me (‘Teacher Assessment’)
and receive an end of year assessed level.
The test results should be delivered to school before the end
of next half-term and you will receive a separate letter
detailing your child’s attainment by the end of KS2.
In the past there have been delays with reporting levels to
schools and parents…we will inform you if this is the case
WHAT ABOUT
WRITING?
Science and writing are assessed separately.
Writing
Milldown assesses children’s development in writing on an
ongoing basis.
Dorset Education department officials will be visiting the school
later in the summer term to moderate our teacher assessments for
writing. The school will award a level for each child based on their
evidence for independent writing this academic year.
The county’s officers will check that there is enough evidence to
back up the school’s judgments.
WHAT ABOUT
SCIENCE?
The Department for Education have revealed a new system this year
for assessing end-of-key stage levels in science. At some point in
June:
A number of schools nationally will be selected for a visit by DfE
officials. No warning will be given.
Those officers will choose a number of pupils when they arrive at the
school and test the pupils in school.
The visitors will then take the tests away and inform the school of its
science achievement at a later date.
We will revise key areas of science as we have English and maths
after next week.
DURING THE WEEK
Keep calm and keep your child reassured!
Ensure your child gets plenty of sleep
Don’t ask them how they have done! They will have no idea!
