Have received DS Y2 ks1 report including the sats results as EXP but without the scaled scores. Have asked the school for the numerical scores but they seem reluctant to release them has anyone else had a similar experience and do you know if the school can refuse to give out the scaled scores?

In the case of Science, it's deviation from the statutory requirements, not variation.

Am grateful for the link to the reporting document as I've so far been made to feel like an over-keen parent and the results I asked for on Friday haven't been forthcoming. Don't want to have to quote a document but, you know...

Good to know schools are paying as much attention to the ARA and statutory requirements as ever.

Don't see this causing an issue at all when the children get to yr 6. Confused

Checcy you are not alone I have requested scaled scores results and they have not responded not sure what to do next as I have full confidence in DS teacher and don't want to upset her.

According to research EYFS outcomes are a better indicator of GCSE success than SATs

mrz Just to clarify, that research would be referring to the old EYFS outcomes, and SATs and GCSEs based on the old curriculum? There's no research to show how well the current EYFS profile or SATs correlate to GCSEs and there won't be for a good while yet.

Also am I right in thinking that for EYFS outcomes, research shows that winter born children were outperforming summer born children since the EYFS period of time would still have been when summer borns were only allowed one term of reception?

And current EYFS outcomes are still showing this despite the fact that the length of time spent in reception is largely equal now?

In fact, has there ever been an explanation as to why EYFS outcomes would provide a better correlation for GCSE results?

No diamond age the current EYFS

mrz · 12/07/2016 19:16

Should clarify that ... When the EYFS strands were "reduced" all the government did was squeeze the criteria from 117 profile point into 17

DiamondAge · 12/07/2016 21:06

Thanks mrz - was there ever any view as to why it provided better correlation than SATs?

mrz · 13/07/2016 06:37

The report was from CRÈC if I remember correctly and one very simple reason was that EYFS measured things not assessed by SATs.

We've been given both raw and scaled scores. I've calculated the raw scores as a % too, much easier to understand.

interesting link saying they have to give them if asked - thanks for that. My daughter thought she did very well in her actual tests and she wants to know for herself what marks she got, We are happy with her levels but she keeps saying she wants to know if she got nearly everything right in her reading as she thinks she did really well on it. I have told her to ask her teacher and see what she says.

Feenie · 14/07/2016 13:05

And what if she didn't?

Reading this thread has made me feel deeply thankful that my children were pre- SATS . It also leaves me deeply unhappy that this is the system my three-year old grandchildren will be subjected to quite soon. Parental anxiety about children's progress at this age is a natural result of the current regime but so sad. In the Olden Days [1980s-90s], feedback and guidance from the class teacher was all that was provided at primary school but served to identify strengths and weaknesses quite adequately..... both our children went on to achieve good exam results, degrees, and jobs, and more importantly were able to enjoy primary school and grow and develop and have fun without the pressures put on them by this crazy addiction to assessment.

nonicknameseemsavailable · 14/07/2016 20:22

Feenie - it turns out she did.

nonicknameseemsavailable · 14/07/2016 20:28

and if she hadn't then that is still her right to know if she had done as well as she felt she had. I don't have a problem with her wanting to know her marks. I mean they get work to do, they do it, they hand it in then they find out if they did it well. no different to any other work.
