Which Year Groups Are Affected?

2 An Overview There are changes for all subjects but these are particularly significant for English, mathematics, science and computing. Key Stage 2 children will also learn a language as part of the curriculum (we have chosen German from the statutory list). There are no changes for Foundation Stage nor for our RE curriculum. As well as content changes, there are changes to the methods schools use to assess pupils.

3 Which Year Groups Are Affected? Most pupils have already started using the new national curriculum. Year 3 started using the new national curriculum this year. There were interim arrangements last year for years 2 and 6 in order for them to complete the old national curriculum as they were assessed against this.

4 The Opportunities As a staff we were able to review the curriculum and its delivery for our pupils Significant work has been done on developing themes and making curriculum links that will enhance learning. This will include themed days and half terms in which pupils across the school will be involved in particular aspects of learning. Termly grids have been provided to parents and the yearly overview is being published on our website and will be sent home after the half term. As professionals, we will retain teaching and learning practice that we know to be effective and powerful for pupils.

5 Assessment Levels are no longer part of assessment. Schools have moved away from the use of levels and no pupils will receive a level following statutory assessment from Schools are being encouraged to work with a grading system and are free to choose this system. Where children are on the scale will still be determined by a set of descriptors.

6 Assessment We use the following in all year groups: E Emerging (just starting to understand) D Developing (developing greater understanding) S Secure (secure in their knowledge) So a child in year 3 could be Y3E, Y3D or Y3S they could also be Y2S, Y3E or Y3D depending on their understanding and progress.

9 Assessment Using the grids for formative (on-going day to day assessment) builds a picture over time. Changes for parents nationally in how attainment is measured. At the end of a key stage the children will receive a scaled score with 100 being the expected score. (Interim) The scaled score will be used to demonstrate progress between years 2 and 6. Information shared across schools may now not have the same consistency because everybody can develop their own system of recording.

10 Assessment SATs 2016 (interim) Key stage 1: 2 papers covering spelling, punctuation and grammar. 1 reading paper 2 Mathematics papers (arithmetic and reasoning) Writing will be teacher assessed Science will be teacher assessed These test will be undertaken as part of their daily routines to make sure the children are not overly anxious.

12 Assessment

13 Reading Greater emphasis on reading, learning and performing poetry. Reading widely for enjoyment. Discrete phonics, such as Read Write Inc. and Jolly Phonics. Developing sophisticated comprehension skills.

14 Writing Handwriting legible, joined and fluid (including in homework) Higher expectations that children understand grammatical rules and use them correctly. Learn the vocabulary associated with the grammar being taught. Learn spelling patterns; prefixes and suffixes; unusual and irregular patterns and spellings; high frequency words. Higher expectations of writing across the board.

15 Top Tips Reading to the children at home anything and everything. Listen to the children read and ask them questions to develop comprehension skills. Encourage joined handwriting and high expectations of presentation. Support with grammar and pronunciation in reading and conversation.

16 Numeracy Curriculum Number number and place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, including decimals and percentages. Measurement. Geometry shape, position and direction. Statistics. Ratio and proportion (Year 6). Algebra (Year 6).

17 Times Tables minimum Expectations End of Year 2 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables. End of Year 3 4, 8 and 6 times tables. End of Year 4 7, 9, 11 and 12 times tables. Year 5 and 6 consolidating all times table facts now to include decimal numbers.

18 Mathematics overview Number bonds to 10 and 20 by the end of Year 1. Year 2 will use place value and number facts to solve problems and start to learn more fractions. KS2 the focus is on more problem solving and formal methods of multiplication and division. By the end of Year 4, pupils should have memorised their times tables up to and including the 12 times tables and should recognise and read Roman numerals on clocks. Year 5 should read and recognise Roman numerals to 1000, as well as recognise and understand prime numbers and factors. Year 6 elements of Year 7 maths. There is an increased emphasis on fractions throughout all key stages.

19 Science Greater emphasis on scientific knowledge and vocabulary. Strong focus on the practical aspects of science including understanding and applying fair tests, drawing conclusions, analysing data etc. Physics has moved predominantly to Key Stage 2. Evolution will be taught in primary schools for the first time in upper Key Stage 2.

20 Develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them. Are equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
