National Expectations Every Year 2 child in the country is expected to get a level 2 or above (2B being average). The level 2 band is divided into 3 sections 2A, 2B and 2C, where 2A is the highest. Children awarded a level 3 are achieving above national expectation. Children working at level 1 are performing below national expectation.
Results The results of the tests help the school with the tracking of pupils’ progress, which will continue until Year 6. Each child will receive their results in their annual report.
Expectations Children are given the opportunity in school to practise using past papers so that they are familiar with the layout. The children will be thoroughly prepared for the tests through practise. All the tests will be carried out in silence and it is important that this is stressed to the children. All children need to be in school on time throughout the week. If your child is not going to be in school for any particular reason you need to ring the office before the start of the school day. To help your child perform to the best of their ability it is important that they are not tired and that they just see it as another Literacy or Numeracy lesson.
