So what exactly is the point of KS1 SATs then?

[bumbleclat]

... If a child in my class with 100% in their independently accessed standardised maths test is now no longer allowed to be reported as 'working at greater depth'?

(unless his teacher scrambles around asking him to quickly jot down a remainder sum on a white board and scan it over to the LA)

Really though what was the point?

[PoisonWitch]

Not sure I really understand primary anymore. Am I right in thinking that if a child is ahead you are not allowed to teach them more advanced stuff than the rest of the class?

[MsColouring]

Poison - you are not meant to go into the next year's curriculum. The idea is that you encourage 'depth of understanding' within that year group's curriculum.

Bumblecat - I am losing sleep over it all at the moment. I have two children who only dropped a couple of marks on their maths and don't think I have enough evidence to put them at 'greater depth'.
