The New National Curriculum & Assessment Without Levels September 2015

• The new National Curriculum was introduced by the DfE in

2014 for all years except Y2 and Y6.

• From September 2015 all pupils are working from the new

curriculum.

• Reception class work from the Early Years Framework.

• Previous Curriculum was assessed using levels

Year 2 (Expected 2b) Year 6 (4b)

• New Curriculum = No levels – (Year group objectives)

DfES Ethos:

• Depth of knowledge; ability to apply knowledge into other contexts.
• Learn/Master a concept thoroughly before moving on to the next.
• Up to schools to choose their own method to monitor progress

• Previously ‘Above expected’ children moved up to the next level.
• Now work from own year group - improve their depth of understanding through

using/applying skills.

• To ensure challenge we have provided ‘exceeding objectives/targets’
• Can move to a higher year group for spellings, times tables
• There may be some children working from the year group below.
• Gifted &Talent - Next year group may be possible!

A Challenging New Curriculum

What are we doing about assessment without levels?

• Updated our pupil targets to match new curriculum
• Created a set of ‘exceeding objectives’ – depth/challenge
• Purchased a new computer tracking programme (itrack)
• Sats training
• Reporting to parents
• New Baseline assessment for Reception class & Online Learning journey

Maths: Ms. Cordell-Edwards

Example of Y6 expected objective * I can add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions Example of Y6 exceeding objective *I can create a scaled model of an historical or geographical structure showing an acceptable degree of accuracy using known measurements. Example of Y2 expected objective *I can solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in context Example of Y2 exceeding objective *I can add and subtract fractions with a common denominator.

Your Turn! Can you solve these questions?

Exceeding

1) ⅛ x ⅓ =

2) Put these in order starting with the smallest 0.85

22 25

89%

43 50

3) 3k + 14 = 32

Expected

1) 1⅓ + 2⅜ =

2)Which two calculations are the same?

10 x 3 -5, 4+1 x 5, 5 x (2+3)

Writing: Mrs. Walker

Example of Y6 expected objective I can use the semi-colon, colon and dash. Example of Y6 exceeding objective I can use the subjunctive in the most formal writing to express a wish or a suggestion for the future. If I was rich, I would buy a Ferrari. If I were rich, I would buy a Ferrari. It is essential that the game begin at

• nce.

The game needs to start now. Example of Y2 expected objective I can use apostrophes to show where letters are missing and to mark singular possession in nouns. don’t do not Fred’s horse The five horse’s raced. Example of Y2 exceeding objective I take time to describe characters and events within stories, rather than move from one event to another.

Reading: Mrs. Raven/Mrs. D’Costa

Example of Y6 expected objective I can evaluate the impact of the grammatical features/techniques used to create mood, atmosphere, key messages, attitudes. Example of Y6 exceeding objective I can present a counter-argument in response to others’ points of view using evidence from the text and explanation (Point, evidence, explanation) Example of Y2 expected objective I can make sensible predictions about what is likely to happen in the story and to different characters. Example of Y2 exceeding objective I can extract information from non- fiction texts, appropriately using contents, index, chapter, headings and glossary.

Assessments

Summative

• Termly tests (3 times a year)
• Sats

Formative Assessing informally all the time. Objectives/targets

• Foundation Stage (EYFS) – Early Excellence Baseline End: FS Profile
• Year 1 Phonics Test (as previous)
• Year 2 SATs tests – R, W & M plus new SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar)
• Year 6 SATs tests. – R, W & M with new Arithmetic paper (No mental maths paper)
• Y1, Y3, Y4 & Y5 Test Papers (as normal)

DfES Assessment Criteria

• Sats outcomes expressed as a scaled score e.g. 100 being the expected score for

their age

• Results benchmarked across England ‘after being marked’ to find the ‘average’.
• Above 100 = above age-related expectations.

Report on pupils attainment against ‘age related expectations’ for their year group in the July (Summer) report. (Autumn/Spring Reports– focus on children’s achievements and targets)

• Below age related expectations (as usual)
• In-line with age related expectations (as usual)
• Above age related expectations (as usual)
• Effort grade (as usual)
• Teacher comments (as usual)

Rothersthorpe Reporting to Parents

New Curriculum – Increased Challenge!

• To achieve ‘above age related’ - achieve all the ‘expected’ and most of the ‘exceeding

targets’.

• Achieving ‘age-related’ means your child has made excellent progress.
• Achieving ‘Above age-related’ means your child has made ‘exceptional progress’.
• Note: A child may have made excellent progress even if they are working below age-

related expectations. (Relative to starting points).

Progress is Key

• We are in the Top 20 of schools in Northamptonshire for pupil progress.
• Excellent progress is always our aim.
