Expected progress from year 1 to year 2?

Posting on another thread has got me mulling this over, how many sub-levels progress are children expected to achieve between year 1 and year 2? Is it the same for all children or are more able kids expected to make more progress than weaker ones? Anyone know ?

Expected progress is 3 sublevels in my school for everyone.

Thanks. Is 3 sub-levels the norm in all schools do you know?

Expected progress in my school in KS1 is 5 points, which is 2.5 sub levels (but most KS1 classes in many schools I know would be 6 points, so a whole level).

I was surprised at my target, but happy as we have v low attainment, and the adapted levels from FS into Y1 came out very high - with an 'expected' FS attainment being equated to a starting point of 1c at the beginning of Y1, and many of those children weren't achieving what I consider a secure 1c. It would also mean, if it was a level per KS1 year, that those 1c children were predicted 2c at end of Y1, and then 3c at the end of year 2, which means 'average' children from FS would be expected to get a 3c at the end of Y2, which we don't consider 'average'!

Does that make sense?!

And certainly in the last couple of schools I've worked in, the lower achieving children were targeted to make 'accelerated progress' to close the gap on what was expected nationally, while the more able children weren't expected to make average progress.

Sorry.. The more able children were expected to make average progress
