Children are formally assessed against national expectations
at the end of each key stage.

to plan effectively for the next steps in their learning
Children have to achieve the expected standard in Reading,

The children’s scores will no longer equate to a level Every pupil will receive:
a raw score for each test, a scaled score: 100 = national expectation and… confirmation of whether or not they attained the national
standard.

The test results and a teacher assessment is
reported to the Secondary School and to parents.
Tests indicate what a child can do on ONE day, the
teacher assessment gives a picture of a child’s ability over time.
Your child’s teacher will consider your child’s KS2 test results, their teacher assessment judgements and their
They will use these to create a report by the end of the summer term, which explains how your child has done in maths, reading, writing, science and grammar, punctuation and spelling.
There is no reason to worry. The government wants to make sure every child has mastered the basics, so they can do well in life. It is important to understand how well your child is doing in these basic skills as early as possible. The results of the tests and teacher assessments help teachers identify where children might need extra help so they can work with secondary schools to put extra support in place. If you have any questions about how your child has done and what support they might need to do well in secondary school, you should speak to their teacher.
