KS1 reading 3c, writing 2a, maths 3c, working at GDS in reading, spelling and maths yr3,4,5, writing EXS in yr3 and 4 then GDS in yr5, this has been explained in a letter by the HT for the IAP appeal. Yr 6 teacher also confirms GDS now in all areas.
The school uses the NFER testing suites at Y3,4 and 5. These provide robust tests for the pupils attainment at the end of each year and are age standardised. The results are designed to reflect expected standards (EXS) and greater depth standards (GDS) for that particular year and to provide reliable predictions for the following year. I think these values come from this system. I guess I need to question this with the school?
This is a Bucks primary. Test is taken at school, if ill then child is not allowed to mix with other children until test is taken. Starting yr6, was ill on and off, lots of different symptoms, question is how long could I justify keeping off school just because of the test? In hindsight probably should have but for how long? Didn't want to take lots of time off just for the test, under normal circumstances would have dosed up and sent in, but obviously was not performing at 100%on the day!
