Please follow this link to find out more about Kingfield's performance measures:
These progress scores show progress at the end of KS2 in reading, writing and maths for the 2022/23 academic year. These will be updated in Spring for the 2023/24 academic year.
Reading: 1.9- Average progress
Writing: 2.8- Above average progress
Maths: 3.3- Well above average progress
Our Philosophy of Assessment
Assessment should have a purpose at every level for everyone involved:
- Pupils should be given appropriate feedback on their learning from the formative assessments carried out by class teachers.
- Class teachers should be able to use formative assessment to support planning and implementation of a curriculum designed to meet the needs of learners.
- Teachers and school leaders should be able to use assessment to help ensure that the pupils who need specified intervention are quickly identified, appropriately supported and monitored so that all can fully achieve their potential.
- School leaders should be able to use summative assessment as a tool for monitoring the progress and attainment pupils make, to ensure the school is helping all pupils achieve their potential.
- Parents should be able to get a clear and accurate sense of their child’s achievement and progress as well as areas where they can support development.
- Governors should be able to use the data to ensure the school is supporting pupils learning effectively.
- The school can provide data for inspection teams to show how children are performing.
- Local schools should collaborate to ensure assessment systems are robust through sharing of good practice and regular moderation.
The new National Curriculum has set out clear expectations for what children should achieve by the end of each Key Stage, and for English, Maths and Science, has provided guidance as to when in each phase this content should be covered.
To meet age related expectations, children should reach secure by the end of the appropriate year. To move from secure in one stage to the next is 3 steps progress, which equates to an average of 1 step or 1 point of progress each half term. This is on-track or expected progress.

Reporting to Parents
All parents receive a written report of their child’s progress and attainment in the Summer term. Where appropriate this will also include the results of any National Curriculum tests. In this report, the children’s attainment in the foundation subjects is also detailed in relation to their year group attainment targets, as well as an assessment of the child’s effort in these subjects. Parents are also offered formal opportunities to discuss their child’s progress and attainment in Parents’ Evenings in the Autumn and Spring terms.
Standardisation and Moderation
Internal moderation of class books is carried out regularly each term. We take part in moderation meetings within our partnership to ensure parity in our judgement and engage in Local Authority moderation processes to confirm our decisions.
End of Key Stage Assessments
2016 was is the first year that children at the end of both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 were assessed against the new National Curriculum. In addition, from 2016 attainment in national curriculum tests was no longer be reported in levels. Instead, scaled scores were used.
Scaled scores help test results to be reported consistently from one year to the next. National curriculum tests are designed to be as similar as possible year on year, but slight differences in difficulty will occur between years. Scaled scores maintain their meaning over time so that two pupils achieving the same scaled score in different years will have demonstrated the same attainment.
A scaled score of 100 will always represent the ‘expected standard’.
A pupil’s scaled score will be based on their raw score. The raw score is the total number of marks a pupil receives in a test, based on the number of questions they answered correctly. The pupil’s raw score will be translated into a scaled score using a conversion table. In KS1, teachers will need to use these to translate pupils’ raw scores into scaled scores to see whether each pupil has met the expected standard. For the 2016 KS2 tests STA will publish test results on the NCA tools website and each pupil will receive a raw score (the number of raw marks awarded), a scaled score and confirmation of whether or not they attained the expected standard.
