NATIONAL CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT LEVELS
Your children’s reports of achievement will give details of both Teacher Assessment and Test results for children in Year 4 or Year 6 in English, Mathematics and Science. Year 4 tests are optional for schools, Year 6 tests are statutory. National Curriculum Assessment works on a ten point scale known as Levels. Children are formally assessed and tested at four Key Stages of their school life:
| Key Stage | Stage in School career | Average expected National Level |
|---|
| Key Stage 1 | Infant School Year 2 (internal Tests and Teacher Assessments) | 2 |
|---|
| Key Stage 2 | Junior School Year 4 (optional internal Tests and Teacher Assessments) | 3 |
|---|
| Key Stage 2 | Junior School Year 6 (external Tests and internal Teacher Assessments) | 4 |
|---|
| Key Stage 3 | Senior School Year 9 (external Tests and internal Teacher Assessments) | 5/6 |
|---|
| Key Stage 4 | Senior School Year 11 (external Tests and internal Teacher Assessments) | |
|---|
Assessing children against National expectations gives parents a clear method of tracking pupils’ progress. In the reports, teachers give you an indication of whether children are performing: above average, at the average or below average, in the subjects of English, Mathematics or Science.
For Year 4 pupils Level 3 would be AVERAGE in each subject
For Year 6 pupils Level 4 would be AVERAGE in each subject
