2018 KS2 Results
2018 is the third year of the new key stage 2 tests in maths, reading and grammar, punctuation and spelling. The tests assess children against a national standard. These tests reflect the new primary curriculum which was introduced in 2014.
As this is the third year of the new tests the results will look different from those prior to 2016 and cannot be compared with them directly. The Government has introduced a new curriculum to be on a par with the best education systems in the world and expect children to achieve higher standards than before.
A child’s results in each test will be reported using a scaled score. A scaled score of 100 represents the expected standard for each test. If a child gets a scaled score of 100 or more, it means they are working at or above the expected standard in the subject. If a child gets a scaled score of less than 100 it means that they may need more support to reach the expected standard. The highest scaled score possible is 120, and the lowest is 80.
You can find more information on scaled scores at www.gov.uk/guidance/scaled-scores-at-key-stage-2.
As the new standard is higher than the old one, fewer children have met the new expected standard than the previous standard, but the percentages have been slowly increasing year on year.
If you want to see how your child’s test scores compare with the national average for each subject, you can do this online at www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-key-stage-2.
The children took Key Stage 2 SATs tests in English Reading, Mathematics and English Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS). For children who have completed the Key Stage 2 curriculum in Writing, a child is assessed by through teacher assessment. The teacher assessment will say one of 3 things:
• a child is working towards the expected standard and needs some support to meet national expectations
• a child is working at the expected standard for their age
• a child is working at greater depth within the expected standard and has a strong understanding of the curriculum.
