KS1 sats. How to interpret scores?

32 replies

We got given ours dd's sats scores in her report: she got 110/111 scaled scores for Maths and English. I'm obviously proud of her!

I have looked online and there is very little data available as to how to interpret these scores. I understand that a score of 100 means a child has met the expected standard, but no statistics available as to what percentage reach a certain score. Does anyone know where to find this data, or have any other wisdom to share?

Not either of those - greater depth can only be awarded if a child meets all of the greater depth teacher assessment objectives. The KS1 tests don't assess greater depth at all.

The either was in response to done well on the test or underperformed. We already established above that it doesn't test greater depth.

Okay, but not sure the either made it clear for everybody.

Can someone explain my son's scores please?

I just got a piece of paper and no explanation

Reading 36/40
Maths 59/60

They got 4 wrong in reading, 1 wrong in maths...

Those are the raw scores, they would be 110, 115 scores to compare in the scaled, obviously those are pretty good scores and he did well, the teacher assessment of greater depth / meeting etc. would be a lot more useful.

I got a report but it just had exceeding circled. Nothing about greater depth. Is that supposed to be a thing?

The termsused should be working at greater depth within the expected standard.
