The new National Curriculum has been written to give Age Related Expectations for the end of each year.

As children travel from Year 1 to Year 6 in our school, they will be tracked against the Age Related Expectations, using:

- Working towards the expected standard (Emerging)

- Working at the expected standard (Expected)

- Working at greater depth within the expected standard (Exceeding)

​

The end of year Assessment Results confirm the percentage of pupils achieving the expected standard, and those exceeding the expected standard i.e. working at a greater depth.

​

A scaled score of 100 will always represent the expected standard on the test. Pupils scoring 100 or more will have met the expected standard on the test.

​

Progress scores are centred around 0, with most schools within the range of -5 to +5.

  • A score of 0 means pupils at Abacus on average do about as well at KS2, as with similar prior attainment nationally.

  • A positive score means pupils at Abacus on average do better at KS2, as with similar prior attainment nationally.

  • A negative score means pupils at Abacus on average do worse at KS2, as those with similar prior attainment nationally.
