What are the BN codes on the sheet?
Key Stage 2 codes – If the pupil was working below the level of the test (B), not awarded a test level (N) or achieved level 2 in the Key Stage 2 test, the teacher assessment (providing it is a valid level) is used as a measure of their Key Stage 2 attainment. However that teacher assessment is capped at level 2, meaning that a pupil in this situation with a teacher assessment of 3, 4, 5 or 6 will be deemed to have attained a level 2.
Rather predictably, followed by, what is a W?
Working towards Level 1.
Are all students expected to make the same progress, ‘cos the targets do not seem equal?
I was really pleased to receive this question as is showed that our work and communication on targets was hitting home. I replied by saying that, Level 3, 4 and 5 students or UML do in fact have different target profiles. I explain why, and how they were calculated.
Next I explained why all level 4s or ‘M’ are not equal. The difference in academic achievement at secondary school between these pupils and those who manage a ‘good’ level 4 (level 4a) and a ‘weak’ level 4 (level 4c) is significant. 81% of those who secured level 4a in English and mathematics went on to secure at least 5 A*-C GCSEs, compared to only 47% of those who secured level 4c.
