Page 4 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 2014 national curriculum will be assessed for the first time in Ma\ y 2016. The sample test and mark schemes set out how the new national curriculum will be as\ sessed from 2016 onwards. This test has been developed to meet the specification set out in \ the test framework for English reading at key stage 1. It assesses the aspects of comprehension that lend themselves to a paper test. The test frameworks are on the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk/sta. A new test and mark scheme will be developed each year. The key stage 1 tests will be marked internally by teachers to inform teacher assessment. Scaled score conversion tables are not included in this document. Conversion tables are produced as part of the standard-setting process. As the sample tests are not subject to standard setting, they are not available for these tests. Scaled score conversion tables for the 2016 tests will be published at www.gov.uk/sta in June 2016. A variety of questions has been included in this sample test to demonstr\ ate the formats and curriculum content that pupils may encounter in a live test. This sample test mark scheme is provided to give teachers an indication of how to mark the tests. The mark schemes for the sample tests have been subject to a shor\ ter process than the full, rigorous development process that is used for live mark schemes. The pupil examples are based on responses gathered from the test trialling process. The sample test and mark schemes have been reviewed by teachers and other expert reviewers. 2. Structure of the key stage 1 English reading test The key stage 1 English reading test comprises: • Paper 1, a combined booklet that integrates the reading texts and answer booklet (lower demand), which carries 20 marks • Paper 2, a reading booklet with a separate associated answer booklet (higher demand\ ), which carries 20 marks Every pupil should have the opportunity to attempt both papers. Teachers may stop a pupil at any stage of the test that they feel is appropriate. Sample key stage 1 English reading test mark schemes

Page 7 of 20 4. Explanation of the mark schemes Where a question is worth 2 marks, this is indicated under the marking circle next to the question. All other questions are worth 1 mark. Incorrect or unacceptable answers are given a mark of 0. No half marks are awarded. The mark schemes were devised after trialling the tests with pupils. They contain examples o\ f some frequently occurring correct answers given in the trials (these are shown in italics with round bullet points). Many pupils will, however, have different ways of wording an acceptable answer. In assessing each answer, markers must focus on the content of what has been written and not on the quality of the writing, expression or grammatical construction. The mark schemes also indicate commonly occurring but incorrect answers that should not be accepted. The practice questions are not marked as they are completed by the children together with the test administrator as an introduction to the test. Guidance on administering the practice questions and introducing the tests is given in the Test Pack Instructions which accompany each test. 5. Internal moderation procedures We recommend teachers involved in marking the key stage 1 tests undertake so\ me form of moderation activity to ensure marking is consistent across their school.
