2. Standardised Assessment Test
• Year 2 children complete these tests in the month of May
• Attainment of all children in this age group can be monitored to inform the next steps in their learning

3. • We will feed this back to you as:
• These tests are one part that helps the teacher make their final assessment at the end of the year.
• We will feed this back to you as:
Working towards the expected standard
Working at the expected standard
Working above the expected standard

4. What is meant by ‘scaled scores’?
It is planned that 100 will always represent the ‘national standard’.
Each pupil’s raw test score will therefore be converted into a score on the scale, either at, above or below 100.
The scale will have a lower end point somewhere below 100 and an upper end point above 100.
A child who achieves the ‘national standard’ (a score of 100) will be judged to have demonstrated sufficient knowledge in the areas assessed by the tests.
