HELP! - What are National Curriculum Levels????

[nellieellie]

Can anyone please direct me to a website which explains these? I know that by ond KS1 meant to be at level 2 (?) but what are a,b and c about? Cannot find anything that is really clear and have parents evening tonight! Any help appreciated!

Are you new to Primary Education?

At the end of year 2 kids are expected to be a level 2b for reading, writing, speaking and listening, science and maths. A 2b is slap-bang in the middle of a "Level 2", 2c is lower and 2a is higher, so anything at 2a or above is exceeding expectations. (after 2a it goes 3c, 3b, 3a, 4c, 4b...etc)

Hi Nellieellie:

Mumsnet Education Learning pages (one blue menu bar, click education, then click learning, then scroll down to assessment (4th down on right).

The link to the NC Level discussion is here - www.mumsnet.com/learning/assessment/national-curriculum-levels - and then just follow through to other topics on NC Levels.

Thanks very much for your help.
