Assessment and
Expectations for Y2
Parent Workshop

2017

Why do we assess at the end of KS1?
• A means of determining if a child has
met the expected standard for end of
KS1
• A benchmark in the child's progress
through school. Y6 results will be
compared to Y2
• A means of assessing the performance
of the school
How are pupils assessed at the end
of KS1? (Year 2)
• Schools are required to report children’s attainment
in reading, writing, mathematics and science at the
end of KS1. This is in the form of teacher assessment.
• Pupils take a test (SATS) in reading and maths.
• The test results are used to inform teacher
assessment.
• There is no test for writing, although there is a non
statutory grammar, punctuation and spelling test.
High Expectations
• 2016 was the first year that teachers were required
to assess using a document called the interim
framework.
• Children will be reported as working towards the
expected standard, at the expected standard or
working at greater depth.
• This document outlines criteria that must be met in
order to achieve the expected standard.
• Children must achieve all the criteria in both the
working towards standard and the expected
standard to be reported as expected.
The Tests
• There will be brand new tests for 2017.
• Class teachers mark the tests using the
mark scheme given.
• They will then add up the marks and
convert this into a scaled score.
• A score of 100 is at the expected
standard.
• We can practise using sample tests and
last year’s tests.
Our approach to testing at KS1
Tests with a ‘growth mindset’.
A SAT test does not reflect who you are, what you are worth or even how
much you have learned. It provides a snapshot of what you are capable
of understanding on a particular given day.
Administering the tests:
Undertaken in a child-friendly way with an emphasis on :
Be the best you can be!
It’s OK to make mistakes and learn from them.
It is an opportunity for the children to show what they can do at 6 /7
years old.
KS1 Mathematics Test
There are 2 papers; Paper 1: arithmetic; Paper 2: reasoning
Paper 1: arithmetic
• The arithmetic test assesses basic mathematical calculations. The test
consists of a single test paper and should take approximately 20
minutes to complete.
• Children are not allowed to use any equipment to help them.
• Pure number questions including times tables and fractions.
• (3x times table expectation; ¾ expectation; emphasis on inverse and
missing numbers)
Paper 2 : reasoning
• It should take approximately 35 minutes.
• Begins with 5 aural questions
• Problem solving and application
• Geometry, measures, money, time, fractions, statistics
Questions can be
read to the
children.
Strategies
Calculation triangle
Bar model
Partitioning
The mathematics test informs teacher assessment using the
interim framework.
Expectations for achieving the expected standard
• Adding two 2-digit numbers
• Subtracting two 2-digit numbers where no regrouping is
required
• Understanding of inverse to answer missing number
calculations
• Multiplication and division facts for 2,5 and 10 times tables
• Reading time to the nearest 15 minutes
• Using different coins to make the same amount
• Describing properties of 2D and 3D shapes
• Identifying ½ , ¼, 2/4, ¾, 1/3 of shapes
KS1 English Reading Test
There are 2 papers.
Paper 1 is a combined reading prompt and answer booklet. It
should take approximately 30 minutes.
The test includes different types of questions for the children to
answer.
Paper 2
All children should be given the opportunity to attempt paper 2
although teachers can decide if they feel children should not
complete it. This test consists of a reading answer booklet and a
separate reading booklet. It is expected that the test will take
approximately 40 minutes to complete (not strictly timed).
The reading test informs teacher assessment using the interim
framework.
Expectations for achieving the expected standard
• Read accurately most of the common exception words, words
with suffices and words with two or more syllables
• Read age appropriate texts fluently (90 words a minute)
• Check it makes sense to them
• Answer questions and make some inferences
Writing
There is no separate writing test. Writing will be based purely on teacher
assessment based on a broad portfolio of writing that the children
complete over the course of Y2. There is a strong emphasis on spelling,
punctuation and grammar. Pupils must demonstrate their application of
these skills across a range of writing.
Expectations for achieving the expected standard
Using punctuation accurately. CL, FS, ! And ?
Using all four types of sentences
Using past and present tense correctly
Using expanded noun phrases
Using coordination- and, but and subordination- when, if, because
Spelling- using phonics, many common exception words,
contractions, suffixes
• Handwriting- capital letters and digits of the correct size and spacing
between words

KS1 English grammar, punctuation and spelling test
There are 2 separate papers in grammar, spelling and punctuation:
Paper 1: a 20-word spelling test taking approximately 15 minutes and
worth 20 marks.
Paper 2: a grammar, punctuation and vocabulary test, in two sections of
around 10 minutes each (with a break between, if necessary), worth 20
marks. This will involve a mixture of selecting the right answers e.g. through
multiple choice, and writing short answers.
This is not statutory.
Time to chat and look at the sample papers.
