1 Parents Information Session!

2  A new National Curriculum was introduced in September 2014, without the National Curriculum Levels.  Primary Schools were given 12 months to review this and all schools are expected to establish their own assessment systems to show attainment and progress!

3 The Department for Education feels that:  Levels are too vague and complicated for parents.  They are not very good at helping them understand their child’s progress.  Levels system contribute to children developing a "fixed mindset" about their ability and potential for growth.

4  The new National Curriculum and old levels are simply just not in alignment!  Some schools tried it to map them together but it just proved impossible to do!  Ramping up of expectations... Each and every year group is expecting more!  Differences in teaching content

5 KS1Level 2 = National Expectation for Year 2 Level 2 (c,b,a)... KS2Level 3 =National Expectation for Year 4 Level 3 (c,b,a)... Level 4 =National Expectation for Year 6 Level 5 =Above Expectation Level 6 =Significantly Above Expectation

6 Measures children’s attainment against Age Related Expectations (ARE) that are very specific for each year group! Within each year children will either be... e = entering, d = developing or... s = secure! Y1 (e,d,s), Y2 (e,d,s), Y3 (e,d,s) Y4 (e,d,s), Y5 (e,d,s),Y6 (e,d,s)

7  Teachers will use statements to assess pupils' progress and learning against the new curriculum (STAT Sheffield).  These statements will track progress over the year well as commenting on whether a child has made good progress.  They will give details of curriculum areas where they have achieved well and areas that need more development and support  However we will still be using tests and from summer 2016, there will be more challenging SATs tests in Years’ 2 & 6!

8  At BR we will continually assess your child and make judgements on their progress termly.  Alongside continuous teacher assessments, there will still be national assessments/tests :  Children will undergo a new baseline test in Reception (from September 2016)baseline test in Reception  the Phonics Screening Check in Year 1Phonics Screening Check  the end-of-Key-Stage test in Year 2 (KS1 SATs)KS1 SATs  the end-of-Key-Stage test in Year 6 (KS2 SATs)KS2 SATs

9 Provided is an example of how the new DFE system expects so much more of primary school children: KS2 2015 BR...RWM L4 Combined = 89.5% NationalRWM L4 Combined = 79.5% BR...RWM L5 Combined =39.5% NationalRWM L5 Combined =24%

10 New expectations for 2016... “Schools to achieve 85% at the new national standard across all subjects combined.” However BR 2015 at Level 4b+... Reading: Level 4b+ 89.7% Maths: Level 4b+82.1% Writing: Level 4b+64.1%

11  Last summer and this term has been a period of transition between the 2 systems.  Parents’ Evening has been brought forward so we can report these new levels to you sooner.  We will communicate whether your child is: a) Working below age related expectations b) Entering age related expectations c) Working within age related age expectations d) Has met age related expectations

12  Understand the implications of the change.  Be aware of the challenge that we all face and the expectations placed on young children has increased significantly, in every year group!  Continue to support your child’s learning in any way that you can!  Continue to encourage a positive attitude and a love of learning.  Liaise with teachers about the new levels!
