Just wondering what papers you use for your year 7 streaming?

We use our own tests. We do also look at their CAT scores as an extra bit of evidence but they’re definitely not set based on these.

Used aqas but tbh look at sats and their first assessment with us after being taught for 7 weeks. The baseline is only used as another piece of evidence, not the be all and end all.

Ours were set on their averages sats score this year..... What a ridiculous idea!

We use the PIMS test. Not brilliant but gives a baseline.

Ones we wrote ourselves, with one eye on KS2 SATs scores.
