I can read, write, order and compare numbers to at least 10,000,000 R A G (ten million) and say the value of each digit R A G 2. I can round any number to a required degree of accuracy 3. I can use negative numbers in context when looking at temperature R A G or money; counting in jumps forwards and backwards through 0 4. I can solve number and practical problems that involve ordering and R A G comparing numbers to 10 000 000, rounding to a required degree of accuracy, using negative numbers and calculating intervals across zero
Results - July • National end of Y6 reporting - based on whether children have achieved the ‘age related expectation’ for their year group (scaled score). • If they received a scaled score of 100 or more then they are at the expected standard for that test. • A scaled score of 110+ is identified as a pupil working at ‘Greater Depth’
What the the scaled sc scor ore e me mean ans How many marks did children need to achieve the expected standard in 2018? Test score needed to achieve Test score needed to achieved the expected standard greater depth standard (Scaled Score of 100) (Scaled Score of 110) Maths 61/110 96/110 Reading 28/50 40/50 GPAS 38/70 56/70
KS2 Teacher Assessment • Statutory teacher assessment will continue for writing and science • Schools are no longer required to make statutory teacher assessment (TA) judgements in reading and mathematics.
