On one of the other SATS posts here someone had explained that "progress 8 attainment is based on KS2 SATS scores. That is why secondaries use them to predict grades- they need to get all pupils to an = or + score for progress 8".
Can anyone explain this. I can understand for maths how this might work but how would it work for English where there is a separate score for reading and SPAG plus a teacher assessed writing. The results for each may be very different to each other? Which part would they use for an English score?
Even if secondary schools don't have any faith in the SATS results themselves are they being forced to use them to set their own GCSE targets and to be measured against on progress?
