Now enter your text and pictures in the empty placeholders. If you need more placeholders for titles, subtitles or body text, copy any of the existing placeholders, then drag the new one into place.
And did you notice we made fold marks for you? They are really light, but if you don’t like them showing on your brochure, select and delete them before you print.

2. Marking and ‘Scaled Scores’
CGP Revision Guide
Marking and ‘Scaled Scores’
To ensure all children have the same opportunities to succeed in their end of key stage assessment, the school is providing each child with a CGP revision guide for maths and grammar. This is to be returned after the tests, to allow further years to use this revision tool.
The children have worked extremely hard so far this year and this continuing, we are sure all children will achieve their full potential and we will be very proud of them of all.
Since summer 2016, more challenging SATs tests have reflected the new curriculum at the end of the Key Stages. Children now receive a scaled score instead of a level. Their raw score – the actual number of marks they accrue – will be translated into a scaled score; this helps to allow for differences in the difficulty of the tests from year to year so that pupils' results can be compared accurately.
A scaled score of 100 or more means that the child has met the expected standard in each KS2 SATs test; a scaled score of 99 or less means are working below the government expected standard.
