Help with Cat scores

[48Ifield]

My dd received the following cat scores from her independent YR5 school:

108 VR
114 Quantitative
141 NVR
109 spatial

Can anyone help me understand these scores? Im trying to see what london schools we should be looking at. How do i calculate the standardised score (the age adjusted score schools will look at?)

Do schools give an actual report? Also why did i have to request this information 20 times before i got it in a cloak and dagger manner ?

Ours give them out in Year 5, but not previous to that without a bit of a fight. 100 is the standardised average, top third is 120 upwards.
So she's a little above average apart from non-verbal reasoning.
What were her CATs last year?

I don't know about secondary schools in London, but you can't just take the CATs into account when choosing, especially just one year's worth. They are meant to be pretty stable year on year, but both my DSs differed 10+ points each year.

I'd ask her school for advice.

Iirc 141 is the maximum score but the others are within the average band.

Does the school have its own senior to transfer to or is it a prep? If the latter there should be senior management staff meeting with you to suggest appropriate destinations.

Thanks for this. From reading many many threads, i appreciate the CATS are just one factor taken into account. To be more complete, her scores for year 4 were not give to us (asked several times) but we did get her beginning of year 5 results as follows:

PTM : stanine 8
PTE : stanine 7
VR : stanine 7
NVR : stanine 8

I appreciate these are good scores and with some home help she might even be able to improve on these. Todate she has been left to her own devices largely as i have been quite sick over the past years and I am sadly realising that the teaching at her school leaves a lot to be desired (even as basic as not correcting homework for the last 6 english assignments or not correcting misspelt “spelling words” ). I’ve recently been checking with other mums and the view on teacher seems to be consistent.

I’ve seen on a few threads that differences of more than 20/30 points between CAT tests can reveal some issue wih learning. She is a hard working child, who could of course benefit from more focus.... but she is definitely not working to her full potential.

Why do schools not want to give this information in a more upfront manner? Am i missing something?
