APS for children entering Grammar
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2012 8:24 pm
There are regular questions on the forum regarding the National Curriculum levels that might be expected of a child who will be successful in their attempt at Grammar school entry.
As children begin receiving end of year reports and assessment results, I imagine that parents will begin wondering again this year.
Whilst I absolutely agree that the 11 Plus exam has many differences to the SATs exams and assessment criteria, and so cannot be readily compared, I looked, out of interest, at the average point scores for children entering our local Grammar schools (averaged over English and Maths too) and have posted below.
As a guide:
Level 4b (expected level at end of KS2) is 27 points
4a is 29 points
5c is 31 points
5b is 33 points
5a is 35 points
Here are the 2011 entry levels:
Camp Hill Boys 33.2
Camp Hill Girls 33.2
Five Ways 33.2
KE Aston 32.8
KE Handsworth 32.8
Bishop Vesey 32.2
Sutton Girls 32.6
Handsworth Grammar 31.1
