Assessment in SIMS is evolving

What changes have been made to support the New Curriculum?

Progress Grid: New Curriculum Subjects tabs split further in Autumn

Progress Grid: New Curriculum Overall judgement now available

Looking at the current gradesets values, do you agree to the following change: Extend the values of ‘CAS Overall’ gradeset to extend from EYFS through KS1, KS2, KS3 Gradeset Values for Overall Judgement Autumn 2014Spring M Curriculum Year 9 Mastered (value = 36) 9S Curriculum Year 9 Secure (value = 35) 9D Curriculum Year 9 Developing (value = 34) - 2M Curriculum Year 2 Mastered (value = 8) 2S Curriculum Year 2 Secure (value = 7) 2D Curriculum Year 2 Developing (value = 6) 2E Curriculum Year 2 Emerging (value = 5) 1M Curriculum Year 1 Mastered (value = 4) 1S Curriculum Year 1 Secure (value = 3) 1D Curriculum Year 1 Developing (value = 2) 1E Curriculum Year 1 Emerging (value = 1) WT Working Towards NC (value = 0.5) U Unable to Assess (value = Null) N/A (value = Null) - 9M Curriculum Year 9 Mastered (value = 58) 9S Curriculum Year 9 Secure (value = 57) 9D Curriculum Year 9 Developing (value = 56) - 2M Curriculum Year 2 Mastered (value = 30) 2S Curriculum Year 2 Secure (value = 29) 2D Curriculum Year 2 Developing (value = 28) 2E Curriculum Year 2 Emerging (value = 27) 1M Curriculum Year 1 Mastered (value = 26) 1S Curriculum Year 1 Secure (value = 25) 1D Curriculum Year 1 Developing (value = 24) 1E Curriculum Year 1 Emerging (value = 23) WT Working Towards NC (value = 22) U Unable to Assess (value = Null) N/A (value = Null) EYFS 2s Expected secure (value = 22) 2 Expected (value = 21) 40-60s 40-60months secure (value = 20) Etc...

Progress Grid: New Curriculum Bullet-point Gradeset updated No Levels ‘below expected’ becomes Emerging = just starting to learn knowledge or skill ‘At expected’ becomes Developing = increasing understanding ‘Above expected’ becomes Secure = achieved the knowledge or skill New Grade ‘Mastered’ to indicate when a child is using and applying skill(s) across the curriculum

Looking at the current gradeset values, do you agree that we should amend the values to ‘CAS APP Bullets’ gradeset to use 1 point increments –consistent with others used Gradeset Values for statements Autumn 2014Spring M Mastered (value = 2) - S Secure (value = 1) - D Developing (value = 0.5) - E Emerging (value = 0.3) - U Unable to assess (value = Null) - M Mastered (value = 4) - S Secure (value = 3) - D Developing (value = 2) - E Emerging (value = 1) - U Unable to assess (value = Null)
