Transcript Draft Primary National Curriculum

The New National Curriculum 2014
What will change?
Subject Programmes of Study and
Attainment targets
Each subject contains
• Purpose of study
• Aims
• Subject domains (e.g. Reading
• Statutory Programmes of Study (POS)
• + non statutory exemplar/notes and guidance
POS are described as Matters, Skills and
Processes
Core and Foundation Yrs 1-6
• English
• Maths
• Science
•

Art and Design
Computing
Design and Technology
Geography
History
Music
Pe
Languages KS2
Other areas
• PSHE All schools should make provision for personal,
social, health and economic education drawing on
good practice
• RE as per SACRE
• Schools are also free to include other subjects or
topics in their choice of planning and designing their
own programme of education
Changes
• More challenge in Mathematics (Calculators end of
KS2)
• Calculation policies
• Greater emphasis in Science
• A new subject Computing
• An emphasis on British History
• Changes to years or Key Stages where some topics
have previously been taught
The new assessment procedure
• In September 2014 the new National Curriculum
became compulsory for all children in Years 1 – 6,
in all subjects with the exception of Year 2 and
Year 6 in English, Maths and Science.
• Year 2 and Year 6 will be using LEVELS in English,
Maths and Science for this academic year ONLY!
What the government says
• “… schools should then be free to design their
approaches to assessment to support pupil
attainment and progression. The assessment
framework must be built into the curriculum, so
that schools can check what pupils have learned and
whether they are on track to meet expectations at
the end of the key stage, and so that they can report
regularly to parents.”

February – April 2013 (July 2013)
Types of assessment
Assessment for Learning
– AfL assessment is ongoing and used to check
students’ learning.
AfL is happening
constantly in a classroom.
The information is used to
amend planning, support
pupils etc.
SUMMATIVE - The goal is
to evaluate student
attainment by comparing
it against some sort of
standard or benchmark.
This is the area we are
changing
The new assessment procedure
• Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (Nursery
and Reception) remains the same. Assessment
procedures in EYFS are the same for this academic
year.
• The Government plans to introduce a baseline
test for all reception pupils next year. The results
from the test will be used to predict outcomes for
each child at the end of Year 6.
The new assessment procedure
We use a system called Pupil Asset to track
pupils progress. This allows us to track
children’s progress both as individuals,
compared to the rest of the class/ year group
and against national expectations.
We are continuing to use national curriculum
levels and running the new criteria alongside.
Children’s progress in the summer term reports
will be provided in the new format
What does Pupil Asset plan to provide?
•
•
•
•
•
•
A system which will move between Levels in years 2 and 6 and Age Band
Assessments in years 1, 3, 4 and 5
The New Curriculum framework itself to support and enable teaching and
assessment
A linear progress model which will cover all stages and incorporate Development
Matters, the Early Learning Goals and current p-Scales
Predictions of attainment at any standardised test points (we anticipate that this
will happen at the end of each Key Stage as a minimum but this isn’t known for
sure at this time)
Support for assessment in Levels for schools who wish to take this route whilst still
highlighting assessment in terms of likely performance at standardised test points
This is not yet possible to do accurately as the criteria which will determine the
standardised scores haven’t yet been released
English - Reading
•
•
1. Word reading
Phonics remains at the heart of early reading.
•
•
2. Comprehension (both listening and reading)
There is a greater emphasis on comprehension, with more continuity
between the year groups and an emphasis on working on increasingly
challenging texts.
•
•
3. Reading for pleasure
Encouraging a love of reading is at the core of the new English
Programme of Study
with a greater emphasis on reading non-fiction (now required at Year 1)
as well as fiction:
•
•
•
•
4. Making rapid progress
The new curriculum emphasises the need for children who may be
struggling to learn to decode rapidly.
Drama and the English curriculum:
• Role play and drama are referred to
across the curriculum
• as part of spoken language.
• There will also be a statutory
requirement to prepare poems
• and play scripts to read aloud and to
perform, showing
• understanding through intonation, tone,
volume and action.
