Key Stage 1 conversion table for Key Stage 1 Sats are out

Not sure if of any use on here, but this has been updates today.

Using the raw scores from English and Maths you can convert to the standardised score, between 85-115. To be age expected the child needs to score 100.

Maths looks to be 37/60
English looks to be 22/40

Thank you ladies, I don't really know any, I just look at the curriculum and work through that and books.

Should I order a year up in the books? Maybe Amazon will let me have a sneak peek.

I wouldn't, the year group books have some interesting investigations, mastery is not just looking at the year above but "playing around" with numbers and concepts-much more interesting for avid mathematicians!

If you never tried khan, I really recommend it . They have tutorial video for everything, so they can learn new skills easily all by themselves. .

Also these resources(masterly assessment) are great for deeper understanding of topics, and this site have a lot of ideas as well.

Irvine - I think that lots of parents do nothing with their DC to help their learning. It starts early with parents not listening to their DC read each day. I'm not going to judge those parents, there are all sorts of reasons why they might not. But suggesting websites for home use will probably not make much of a difference to those pupils.

I agree with Pico2. Providing links to websites etc can be helpful, but usually only a few of the most involved parents will access them. Often the children who are least in need of extra help. It's much more difficult to provide extra learning support for the children who most need it, as their parents are often unable to support them, for various reasons. (Of course, this is not always true, but IME it tends to be the case. If the parent is illiterate, chronically ill, doesn't speak English etc, then their child is at a disadvantage compared to others).

Thank you, I will have a look through the sites tomorrow.

Thank you Pico2. I think I am very inclined to online help because it was a massive life saviour for me. English isn't my native language, so I would struggle to explain simplest maths concept or grammar rules to my ds.
Without all those websites and MN, I would have been completely lost about my ds's education long time ago. I just wished all those parents who doesn't know how to help dcs had the knowledge of those.

I find the disparity between the national curriculum and the format of the tests more than I can actually get my head around tbh.

Why on earth are we doing this to our children?

When my dd finished Y2 a couple of years ago, the 'levels' she was given made sense to me in terms of what she had been taught, her progress and national expectations. They weren't a perfect system, but at least they were a system.

And yes, she was L3 across the board, so the system acknowledged those children working 'ahead of expectations'.

I'll get my ds's KS1 assessment information in a few weeks and I honestly don't have a clue what it means as it's all such a mess this year.

When do the results get published?

They don't in KS1

Thanks for all those links! Came across this thread after being shocked (in a good way) about DS1's SATs results and have spent the evening looking for ways to stretch/interest him (he is desperate to be doing more).
