OFSTED and assessment Teaching, learning and assessment “When considering the school’s records for the progress of current pupils, inspectors will recognise that schools are at different points in their move to adopting a system of assessment without NC levels.” Recording achievement has changed but attainment hasn’t actually dropped. Keep articulating progress, pursuit of challenge and deepening knowledge, aspirational targets etc

Termly Summary of Pupil Achievement Based on STAR Similar to the old Termly Summary in a few ways, but some significant differences Provides a summary overview of Y1 to Y6 pupil achievement and group level data Useful evaluation and planning tool & can be used with: School staff, SLT, Governors Ofsted, Senior adviser, even! New and improved! Vast majority of key calculations are automatic Key group gap calculations, e.g. FSM/non-FSM

Termly Summary of Pupil Achievement Summarises pupil attainment & progress using a range of measures (a more rounded judgement): % of pupils at age-related expectations (ARE) % working at greater depth and/or above ARE Average Point Score attainment compared to the changing ARE each term (a likely gap) Tracks how gap to ARE narrows/closes both in year and since KS1 % making typical, rapid or no progress

Termly Summary of Pupil Achievement Range of measures (cont) Groups - uses same measures for usual groups plus HAs, MAs and LAs from the end of the previous key stage Calculates, automatically, gaps between groups and non-groups in %s and in APS Next steps To be introduced to Assessment and Curriculum forum on 15 th Oct 2015 Breakfast workshops planned
