END OF KEY STAGE 2 TEACHER ASSESSMENT 2013 • Schools will need to report ‘informed’ Teacher Assessment results for each pupil at the end of KS2. • In English, mathematics and science, schools will need to report a Teacher Assessment level for each attainment target and an overall subject level as one of the following: W, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 6, A, D, L, F* or P**. • Regardless of whether the writing tests are marked internally or externally schools should use the results to inform a teacher assessment judgement of a pupil’s work across Year 6. • Schools selected for the writing sampling test should use the results to inform but not dictate teacher assessment levels. • Pupils’ reading test results will be combined with their writing teacher assessment to calculate the overall English level. • The Mathematics level will be calculated in the usual way by assigning different weightings to each attainment target: - (M AT1) Using and Applying Mathematics weighting = 2 - (M AT2) Number and Algebra weighting = 5 - (M AT3) Shape, Space and Measures weighting = 2 - (M AT4) Data Handling weighting = 1 • The Science level will be calculated in the usual way by assigning different weightings to each attainment target: - (Sc AT1) Scientific Enquiry weighting = 2 - (Sc AT2) Living Processes and Living Things weighting = 1 - (Sc AT3) Materials and their Properties weighting = 1 - (Sc AT4) Physical Processes weighting = 1 • The reporting of P scales is statutory. Schools will need to record the achievement of pupils with SEN using the P levels where they are working below Level 1 of the National Curriculum. The P scales are a set of optional indicators for recording the achievements of these pupils. • For more details on P scales, visit the STA website at: https://orderline.education.gov.uk/gempdf/1445950839/P_scales_level%20descriptors_2009.pdf • Schools will need to provide the LA, parents and the next school/Key Stage with the consolidated Teacher Assessment data for each pupil. • * F = Pupil will reach the end of the programme of study and take the relevant key stage test in the future. • ** P = Pupil has already completed the programme of study, the relevant key stage test has been taken and a teacher assessment result has been reported in the past Relevant publications and websites • Assessment and Reporting Arrangements KS2 2013 at www.education.gov.uk/assessment • Implications for teaching and learning from the English and Mathematics tests up to 2006 http://orderline.education.gov.uk/bookstore.asp?FO=1307446&action=SearchResults 5
