Great Linford KS2 Data

KS2 Performance Data 
Following considerable changes to the structure of assessment at KS2 from summer 2016, the performance data for all primary schools is no longer presented as national curriculum levels.  Instead, levels have been removed and in their place is a national ‘Expected Standard’ for Year 6 children to meet.  This standard is met by achieving at least 100 on a scaled score in reading; spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG); and mathematics in SAT tests.  Further, children who achieve a score of 110+ on the scaled score are identified as attaining a ‘Higher Standard’. Outcomes in writing are measured by assessments made by teaching staff, moderated by the local authority.

​The progress measure for the year group indicates whether the children, collectively, have made progress ‘below’, ‘in line with’ or ‘above’ expectation nationally.  A progress score of 0 means pupils in a school (on average) do about as well at KS2 as those nationally.  A positive score means pupils in a school (on average) do better at KS2 than those nationally.  A negative score means pupils (on average) do less well at KS2 than those nationally.  Most schools’ progress scores fall in the range of -5 to +5.

​Year 6 Tests (End of KS2)

There are 6 Tests in total.
Reading
  • Worth a total of 50 marks, involving three reading texts of increasing difficulty, lasting one hour.
  • Questions towards the end of the reading texts, especially the third text, can be worth multiple marks.
Grammar and Punctuation
  • Worth a total of 50 marks, lasting 45 minutes.
Spelling
  • Worth a total of 20 marks, one mark per word.
  • Not strictly timed, but lasts approximately 15 minutes.
Three tests in Mathematics
  • Paper 1 involves mathematical calculations (arithmetic), covering operations including fractions, decimals and percentages, plus long division and multiplication. It is worth 40 marks and lasts 30 minutes.
  • Papers 2 and 3 assesses mathematical fluency, with problems and reasoning. Each paper is worth 35 marks and last 40 minutes each.
  • Overall: 83-93 out of the 110 marks are designed to test number, calculations and fractions, and 17-27 marks are designed to test measurement, geometry and statistics.

Why are there tests at the end of Year 6?
Year 6 Tests are taken to provide the measure of attainment of a school’s pupils at the end of Key Stage 2 primary education, together with an assessment in Year 2 of the progress made from the end of Key Stage 1. Ofsted uses this information when inspecting schools. It is not there to provide entrance exam requirements for secondary schools. The “offer day” for secondary school places is around the beginning of March, but the SATs tests are not taken until mid-May.

What is the Pass Mark?
The pass mark changes each year, depending on the complexity of the paper. Typically, the pass mark for:
  • Reading is between 21 and 28 marks out of 50.
  • Maths is between 56 and 60 marks out of 110 over all 3 papers.
  • Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS or SPaG) is 35 to 40 marks out of 70 over both papers.

What is the Scaled Score?
To enable comparisons to be made between years, the DfE converts the number of marks a pupil has made (called the “raw score”) into a score than can be compared between years (known as the “Scaled Score”). The Scaled Score varies between 80 (for a “raw score” of 3 marks) to 120 (for nearly all questions answered correctly). The pass mark is a scaled score of 100. Reaching this is called “Expected Standard achieved”.
