When do parents get ks2 SATs results?

[3littlebadgers]

Just that really, I know schools found out today. Will we?

DT1 got 120 maths 120 SPAG and 118 Reading
DT2 got 118 maths 119 SPAG and 112 Reading.
There were some v high scores in the year of 90 though.

It told me what I knew. They are v similar. Sadly one did far better in his 11 plus and they are at different schools from Sept so will be interesting to see how they get on, one at comp and one at grammar when I know they are more or less equal at end of KS2

Middle shocked that scores like your DS2's don't put him in the grammar school category.

I'm really proud of my ds.
He was averaging 2 as a spelling score but thanks to the hard work of his teachers and him he ended up getting 11. He was so happy and can't wait to thank the TA who's been working with him. 11!!!!!

In Reception and y2, he'd been below expected but achieved expected in everything in y6. He's the youngest in the year and had felt stupid for years but is going to secondary in such a strong position. So proud !!

39% of children did not meet the expected standard.

That's 4 in 10 upset children.

What kind of stupid bastard fucking test sets 40% of kids up to fail? It's a national disgrace and I'm ashamed to be part of the system

Feenle - where is this Information from?

I think the national figure was that 61% of children reached the expected standard in all areas of the KS2 SATs. Individual areas were higher, 75% for maths, 71% for reading, 76% writing and 77% for spelling, punctuation and grammar.

However, I think it entirely depends on the school and parents whether kids are upset, mine's happy as we value his effort and progress over his scores. I hope other kids are well supported if they didn't 'make the grade'.

mrz - those examples are depressing.

Poor kids labelled as 'not met the expected standard' when the marking is that crap. (Without reliability, no validity.)

And that's before you get on to the validity of the tests in other respects eg the totally unrelated conclusions drawn...

What kind of stupid bastard fucking test sets 40% of kids up to fail?

It makes sense when you have a test where pass/fail has meaning e.g. driving test, maths GCSE or even the vile 11+. It makes no sense to use the words in the case of SATs especially now (thank god) kids who 'fail' will not be forced to resit - the Tories u-turned on that particular 2015 manifesto commitment.

They've gone from a system where the result was at least a descriptor of what the child could do to labels of 'good enough' and 'not good enough', when they didn't have to.

My DS was really upset by his results even though I was incredibly proud. He is dyslexic and still managed 98 and 97 in his English. Considering he got a raw score of 2 in his spelling I felt it was an amazing performance. All he sees is that he failed by 2 scores and does not even feel proud of his 113 in maths. Such a sad system.

"Feenle - where is this Information from?" The DfE 61% of pupils met the KS2 standard

Our school has not yet released the results. Does this mean they are challenging the results?

My 'usually top of the class' dc passed all of the says but got scores of 104,106 and 109, far lower than expected and at parents evening just before the exams the teacher was really selling how high her marks should be and was the only child in the class not to be invited to the SATS booster classes.

She is so disappointed, as a percentage her marks in the previous two terms were 87% and 90% for maths and this dropped to 70% in recent SATs tests.

It seems most of the girls in her class came out with much higher scores. I've tried to tell her that it doesn't matter, she's 'passed' them all. Maybe she just wasn't prepared.

Ours hasn't released them yet either but they always like to keep us waiting (I have friends with DCs at other local primaries and we are always last to get reports, SATS scores, classes/teachers for next term etc).

Confusing scoring. My daughter got 118, 113, 109. Her report is Secure+ for each subject. She had previously passed 11+ and is generally top of her class but not in any gifted & talented programs. A number of her class who always struggled got mid 90s. It seems the score is contrived to seem close. Sorry rambling, but trying to help put in context. All will be forgotten by time gcses are chosen.

It is a scaled score with 100 being the expected standard essentially 100+ is a pass 99 or less a fail

If schools ask for tests to be re marked they may not get the results until after the summer holidays. Some heads are talking about sending all papers back because correct answers are marked wrong and incorrect have been given the mark.

Dd got 120, 119 and 114 didn't have much of an idea what it meant but happy now

I think ours have been sent back. Basically we have been told not sure when parents will get results. Students haven't been told either. There will be a meeting to discuss further and answer any questions.

Ours were issued on Friday. Just numbers without any explanation which is a bit off considering the weight given to them! I can see (thanks to this thread) that DD did ok, all 110 plus.

The sooner they are ditched the better.

If children didn't reach the magic 100 do they resist next year ?

No

My DD was really motivated to get @greater depth" in everything. That is what her teacher encouraged her to aim for.

On friday she came home with scores of all between 116-120 but only writing says "greater depth". Have they scrapped that phrase for other subjects? She's upset she didn't get it in everything but I keep telling her I think she did really, even if it's not labelled as such.

So have they scrapped the greter depth label? And if so why? How can children fathom constantly shifting goal posts???

Yes as far as we were told, only writing can be given "greater depth". None of the others can go above national standard.

But with a mark of 110 widely considered "greater depth" you daughter certainly achieved her goal. Well done to her.

@tinkly there isn't a score of 120 for writing-it's just reported by their teacher as expected/not expected or greater depth
