When do KS2 SATS results come through?

[kitnkaboodle]

My son told me "end of June" - not sure how reliable he is!

Including Level 6 ones??

Anyone know? - thanks!

Oh don't, spanieleyes, I had 5 last year who would have got a level 5 on the previous year's thresholds, but in fact missed it by one mark...

Opposite problem this year! At the moment we have about 85% level 5, based on last years thresholds ( and some of those should be level 3's! ). We usually get around 35%!

Sorry - should have made clear that I was talking about the Maths paper!

I agree that the reading thresholds were low last year. That Plague one was hard though. I felt Wolves was a bit easier - except for the really dense Kipling text.

If I remember correctly...
2010 Golden Dreams 31+ scored level 5
2011 Caving 34+ scored level 5
2012 Plague 33+ scored level 5

Look at that big jump as soon as Mr Gove arrived!!

We don't have our maths papers back yet!
I can see the thresholds rising this year though!

Our Maths arrived on Wednesday. 5 had coffee mug rings on the front - clearly some late night marking going on somewhere! Not as good as last year, when they had muddy cat's paw marks dancing across them.

In case anyone's interested...
2010 Maths 79+ scored L5
2011 Maths 77+ scored L5
2012 Maths 79+ scored L5

Oh bother - that scuppers my theory of Gove bumping up the thresholds in 2011.

Thanks Kingscote. That's the info I was looking for. Do you know the L6 (maths) thresholds too?

Our Reading is now back.

I have 8 children who scored 33 - so last year they would have been a level 5, the year before, a level 4.

The thresholds are published on Tuesday, crossed fingers until then...

English Level 5 = 36
Maths Level 5 = 79

Where have you got that from, Londonteach? Thresholds are not out until Tuesday.

Some of our papers came back last week.

For the teacher assessment for writing ds got level 5.

Fingers crossed for the rest.

Nooooooo, not 36! We will drop from 52% L5s, to 40% if you are right London . However, it would bring some children more in line with our expectations. Rats! Do you happen to have a prediction for where the L3/4 boundaries will be drawn?

But how could London possibly know?

Just checked nca tools - it still says the results section is closed until Tuesday.

Ruprekt, the papers are back, and we can guess a little from last year's thresholds. But they change every year, and no one will know for sure until Tuesday.

LondonTeach - how on earth do you know???

Oh my god, I really hope London doesn't know what she's talking about :-(

London.....come back please!

Why do the thresholds change every year?

Dunno ruprekt, but I'm really worrying about this 36... There's no way London could know that, as far as I can see..... But 36 would not be good for my reading results!

Interesting first ever post btw - chucking something in you couldn't possibly know onto a parenting website!

No point in worrying, GetStuffezd - looks like scaremongering to me

The changes in thresholds are meant to reflect the difficulty of the tests, Ruprekt.

So, what is coming back?

Maths

Grammar

Reading

Then they are teacher assessed for English?

don't shoot the messenger...

it's what ive been 'told'

Everyone's Levels will drop so not point worrying!
We have hit our L5 targets based on a score of 33 from last yr...so were not too fussed when our L5 score goes down.

'Told' by someone reliable?

told by someone who attended a 'meeting' last week!

sorry but it's irresponsible to repeat information from unsubstantiated source unless the "meeting" was with Mr Gove
