Summary of Features (please note some features may not be available depending on the test type):

• Pupil Summary shows total marks for each paper, number of questions unanswered (possibly indicating need to increase pace), number of incorrect answers, total overall score (and percent), total score in each strand. Option to adjust the colour thresholds to make it easier to spot patterns and gaps.
• Pupil Reports show a summary of performance in each strand for an individual pupils. Available in 2017 versions and later excluding reading. 2018 versions and later contain detailed feedback on each question. Useful for feeding back to pupils, parents and informing intervention teachers.
• Cohort Summary shows an overview of the cohort against each strand. This is also compared to national data where it is available. This page gives a summary of attainment including number and percent at expected and higher standard.
• Strand Summary shows a the weighting of each strand and the performance within it. For example, in a grammar test a cohort may perform poorly in identifying sentence types and equally poorly in identifying punctuation. However as there is more weighting given to punctuation, it would be advisable to focus on this area.
• Other Charts Charts which show performance for each question, organised by most correct to incorrect, by strand and also by year group question (for mathematics). The most powerful chart orders questions from most correct to incorrect enabling you to see precisely where there are strengths and weaknesses.

KS2 Writing Analysis Tool

Release Notes

It is strongly recommended that you use this tool in conjunction with the frameworks found here. This is a new tool intended to help leaders, teachers, children and parents organise, inform and plan for future learning. Due to the complexity of the current assessment system (and if you are used to using the PrimaryTools Tests Analysis Tools), there are a few things to be aware of using this tool. Firstly, if you are confident a pupil has already met the Working Towards criteria (W/T), we recommend filling in the ‘1’s on the data input tab for Working Towards rather than leave them blank (which means not assessed), and likewise for those working at a Greater Depth (G/D).

Most children will be working within and towards the Expected standard, and this tool focuses on them.

Many of the tables and charts will only be based on the Expected Criteria (the headings will make this clear). We cannot stress enough that this should be used in conjunction with the Frameworks. The criteria have been derived from them as closely as possible, but do not match exactly with them. Criteria starting with ‘e.g.’ are examples and not necessarily required to meet the expected standard, however this tool will treat those criteria as required. Use this as a tool to inform and read the frameworks! We hope you will like the enhanced Pupil Reports. There is a second page with a thorough break down of what a pupil needs to focus on.
