  1. 2012 Statutory Assessment

  2. EYFSP and Y2 • Requirements continue as in previous years • Schools have been notified if they are to receive a moderation visit • Increase in number of schools where there are teachers new to the relevant year group and thus have to be visited • Increase in numbers of schools requesting a visit

  3. Statutory Assessment – new for 2012 New aspects of work for schools in 2012: KS2 writing moderation and Y1 phonics screening checks KS2 is pilot Y1 checks are statutory

  4. Y1 phonics screening checks • Pilot in 2011 – small number of Essex schools took part • Now statutory and must be carried out in w/b 18 June on all children • Separate ARA (can be downloaded from 123assessment.co.uk) • 40 words in sections; some words will be “non-words” – to test phonics understanding • Schools already have practice materials • Actual materials to arrive by 1 June

  5. Y1 phonics screening checks • Must be administered to individual by teacher, not TA or LSA • HTs must submit HDF by 29 June • Must submit data to LA (Target Tracker is aware) • Data collection team will provide dates • LA must submit data to DfE by end of July • DfE will publish national and LA statistics

  6. Y1 phonics screening checks- the role of the LA • to ensure schools carry out all statutory assessment arrangements • ensure correct administration so must undertake monitoring visits before, during and after phonics checks week • 10% sample as for KS2 – random unannounced spotchecks • Logistical challenges re spotchecks

  7. Request to HTs of KS1 schools • Email asking for a timetable • To be sent in May • Straightforward • Easy to fill in • Not mandatory • Would help spotcheck team • Save on petrol and wasted time

  8. Phonics timetable

  9. KS2 writing assessment • Pupils must still take writing tests • Teachers also carry out Teacher Assessment (TA) • BUT only Teacher Assessment will be reported to parents and DfE • Implications for reporting and RAISEonline • unclear how subject level will be calculated • only reading will have test result

  10. KS2 writing assessment • Schools will be in one of three groups: • told by STA they must take externally marked tests (to be taken on 15 May) • school has chosen to do externally marked tests (to be taken on 15 May) • school has chosen to do and mark tests internally (materials should have been received by now – may be administered any time)

  11. KS2 writing assessment – moderation requirements • LA must carry out moderation of writing in 25% of schools • LA has already been informed of the schools to be moderated • Moderators will have to pass a “standardisation test” • Materials and information about standardisation test and the training of moderators coming from STA

  12. KS2 writing assessment – moderation process • As far as we know: • moderation visits will follow a similar pattern to those at EYFSP and KS1 • a visit note will be provided by STA • funding should allow us to spend one day in larger schools • We plan: • to carry out most visits in June (few in May) • to use both LA and school-based staff

  13. Some concerns/unknowns about moderation process • Details of moderation process not yet sent to LAs by STA (including standard visit note); also • Because of the standardisation test do not know who will pass and therefore be able to be in the team • May not know whether schools visited are having externally or internally marked tests

  14. KS2 writing assessment - moderation • Samples of ordinary class work • NOT special portfolios of work • Expect to look at three samples per class (but this is not yet confirmed) • Teachers will need time to talk with moderator • Schools are representative sample • LA must only give two weeks’ notice

  15. KS2 writing assessment – a few issues • Two weeks’ notice period not very convenient for schools or LA • Moderators have been asked to review test results against TA – but only schools carrying out internal marking may have results • LA can require school to change and re-submit levels – schools can challenge this but “must pay any costs”
