Page 3 of 20 1. Introduction The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) is responsible for the development and delivery of statutory tests and assessments. STA is an executive agency of the Department for Education. The 2018 tests assess the national curriculum. This test has been develo\ ped to meet the speci cation set out in the test framework 1 for English grammar, punctuation and spelling at key stage 2. A new test and new mark schemes will be produced each year. Key stage 2 tests are marked by external markers, who receive training to ensure the published mark schemes are applied consistently and fairly. The mark schemes are provided to show teachers how the tests are marked. The pupil examples are based on responses gathered from the test trialling process. Scaled score conversion tables are not included in this document. Conversion tables will be produced as part of the standards maintenance process. Scaled score conversion tables 2 for the 2018 tests will be published in July 2018. The standards con rmation meeting will take place in June 2018. 2. Structure of the test The key stage 2 English grammar, punctuation and spelling test comprises: • Paper 1: questions (50 marks) • Paper 2: spelling (20 marks) 3.

Page 6 of 20 4.2 General marking guidance for Paper 1: questions To ensure consistency of marking, the most frequent procedural queries are listed in Table 2, along with the action the marker will take. Recording marks awarded Marking takes place on screen, with markers viewing scanned images of pupils’ responses. Marks are entered into the marking system in accordance with the guidance for the on-screen marking software. For each question, markers record the award of 1 or 0 marks as appropriate, according to the mark scheme criteria. There is provision in the software to record questions not attempted. The software aggregates marks automatically. The following guidance applies to all questions in Paper 1. Table 2: General marking principles for Paper 1 AcceptDo not accept Tick boxes and tables • any unambiguous indication of the correct answer, e.g. • the box is crossed rather than ticked • the correct answer is circled rather than ticked • answers in which more than the required number of boxes have been ticked Circling or underlining of the answer • any unambiguous indication of the correct answer, such as the answer being enclosed within a box • answers in which more than the required number of words have been encircled / underlined • answers in which the correct answer is encircled / underlined, together with any surrounding words Drawing lines to ‘match’ boxes • lines that do not touch the boxes, provided the intention is clear • multiple lines drawn to / from the same box (unless this is a question requirement) Labelling • clear labels, whether they use the full vocabulary required by the question or an unambiguous abbreviation, e.g.‘V’ for ‘verb’ • ambiguity in labelling, e.g. the use of ‘AD’ or ‘A’ where a distinction is required between ‘adjective’ and ‘adverb’ 2018 key stage 2 English grammar, punctuation and spelling test mark schemes

Page 7 of 20 AcceptDo not accept Punctuation • correctly formed punctuation that is clear, unambiguous and recognisable as the required punctuation mark • punctuation that is ambiguous, e.g. if it is unclear whether the mark is a comma or full stop • incorrectly formed punctuation marks, e.g. an inverted question mark Sentences and capital letters • a sentence that has an initial capital letter and an appropriate punctuation mark indicating the end of the sentence • capital letters that are clear and unambiguous Where letters do not have unique capital letter forms, the height of the capital letter will be equal to, or greater than, that of letters with ascenders. • answers in which capital letters are omitted or placed inappropriately in a sentence, or where an entire word is capitalised Spelling • incorrect spellings of the correct response if no speci c mark scheme guidance is given • incorrect spellings of answers for which the mark scheme requires correct spelling Correct spelling is required for the award of the mark for the majority of questions in Paper 1, especially for questions assessing contracted forms, verb forms, plurals, pre xes and suf xes. 2018 key stage 2 English grammar, punctuation and spelling test mark schemes

Page 8 of 20 AcceptDo not accept Answers outside the expected space • a correct answer given somewhere other than the answer space, provided it is not contradicted by another answer written elsewhere • correct answers that are written in the ‘blank’ within a question, rather than in the expected space below it • correct answers in which the pupil has written out a word or sentence that is already provided • answers that are given outside the expected space and contradicted by another answer written elsewhere More than one answer given • multiple answers that are all correct according to the mark scheme • responses where both the correct and incorrect answers are given Handwriting • answers that are clear, unambiguous and recognisable, including letters that have been reversed, but which are still clearly identi able to the marker • answers that are unclear or ambiguous Crossed-out answers • correct answers that have not been crossed out • correct answers that replace a crossed-out attempt • crossed-out answers 4.3 Explanation of the mark schemes for Paper 1: questions The mark schemes contain the following information for each question: • the question number • the question from the test paper • what is required to answer each question – either a correct answer or examples of different types of creditworthy response • how many marks are available for this question • any additional guidance that may be relevant • the content domain reference. 2018 key stage 2 English grammar, punctuation and spelling test mark schemes
