Rothersthorpe CE Primary School The New National Curriculum & - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Rothersthorpe CE Primary School 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

A Challenging New Curriculum • 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!

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

Assessments Formative Summative Assessing informally all the time. • Termly tests (3 times a year) Objectives/targets • Sats

• 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.

Rothersthorpe Reporting to Parents 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)

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.
