Would be grateful if the following could be explained as suffering from information overload:
For the first time last year I am aware that the writing aspect of the English was teacher accessed. Am also aware that some schools had their's externally marked, but believe it was still, for reporting purposes, ultimately classed as a Teacher accessed mark. Would really appreciate therefore, if he following questions could be explained:
- If for performance tables the teacher accessed writing score was not used, how did they arrive at the child's level using the reading score only and where can I find a threshold table for that (all that I've been able to find 'combines' the writing TA with the reading score)?
- How would secondary schools have received this information? Levels without the TA writing score? Or levels with the TA writing score? Or both?
- If, hypothetically speaking, a child had a low reading score and a high writing score, and the writing score was not included in the reporting of the National Curriculum levels, does this mean they could have ended up with a lower level for English overall?
Thanks so, so much
