School Performance and Results
The primary school performance tables provide information on the achievements of pupils in primary schools, how they compare with other schools in the local authority (LA) area and in England as a whole.
The Department for Education Website - Meadow Primary School
The tables show:
- Results from the KS2 tests in Reading, Mathematics and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS).
- KS2 teacher assessments in English, Reading, Writing, Mathematics and Science.
- KS1-2 progress measures in Reading, Writing and Mathematics.
Early Years Foundation Stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old.
The prime areas are:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
The prime areas are strengthened and applied through 4 specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
A Good Level of Development (GLD) indicates whether a pupil has met the required standard in all 17 areas of the curriculum at the end of their Reception year.
Year 1 Phonics Screening Check
Year 1 pupils complete a national Phonics Screening Check at the end of Year 1. Pupils who do not reach the national expected standard at this time are given additional support and are re-tested at the end of Year 2.
SATS
SATS (Standard Assessment Tests) tests at primary school are taken at the end of Year 6. They are used to show your child's progress and attainment in school in comparison with children at the same age across the country.
SATs take place in May. The tests which are taken in Year 6 cover Reading, VGPS and Maths. Writing and Science are completed using teacher judgement. The papers are sent away to be marked with results being available before your child leaves primary school in July.
Attainment (average scaled scores):
Pupil results are reported as a scaled score, with 100 being the expected standard in each test. Scaled scores range from 80 as the lowest awarded, to 120 as the highest. A pupil achieving a scaled score of 100 or greater is working at or above the national expected standard in the subject. A score of less than 100 means a pupil may require additional support in order to reach the national expected standard. Further information on scaled scores can be found here: www.gov.uk/guidance/scaled-scores-at-key-stage-2
Average Progress:
Progress scores indicate the amount of improvement pupils make between Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
- A progress score of 0 means that the pupils in this school do as well at Key Stage 2 as they did in Key Stage 1. E.g. if a child reached the expected standard at Key Stage 1 and also at Key Stage 2, then this would be recorded as a progress score of 0.
- A progress score of less than 0 means that pupils did not do as well at Key Stage 2 as they did at Key Stage 1. This would be recorded as a negative progress score e.g -0.02 and a score higher than 0 indicates that the pupils have done better than they did at Key Stage 1.
