Raw Score / Scaled score Children’s raw score reflect how many mark they scored correctly out of the total. Reading – out of 50 marks GPaS – out of 70 (50 for grammar / 20 spelling) Maths – out of 110 (40 for arithmetic / 35 for each reasoning) Scaled score reflects the child’s score against the national; with 100 reflecting an expected score and 110 considered to be greater depth.

Code Description A Pupil was absent for the test AS Pupil has achieved the expected standard in test B Pupil was working below the standard of test (did not take the test) CA Special consideration will be applied to the result for the calculation of school performance measures F Pupil has not taken the test but will take it in the future H Pupil cheating L Pupil has left the school M Missing script NS Pupil has not met the expected standard in the test P Pupil has not taken the test this year but has taken it in a previous year Q Results annulled T Pupil was working at the standard of the text but was unable to access them X Result pending Z Pupil has been incorrectly registered for the test

Progress measure how does it work? Stage 1: All other pupils nationally with average score at KS1 of 18.0 This is Chris Back to Chris Chris’ results are KS1 APS = 18.0 KS2 reading score = 117 He got 1 point more than the average for those with similar starting points = +1 All these pupils’ KS2 scores are added together and divided by the number of pupils in the group = average (national mean) reading score is 116
