About this Assessment

• PAT Mathematics Stanines enable a student’s achievement to be compared against National Norms. They also enable teachers and parents to compare

student performance across cohort groups.

• Stanines and their associated test scores have been scaled and ‘normed’ to fit the ‘Bell Curve of Normal Distribution’.

• This test became available in its current form to schools in 2007.

• There are various components within the test which are used by teachers to target teaching and learning. These are: Number Knowledge, Number

Strategies, Algebra, Geometry/Measurement and Statistics.

• As the Ministry of Education have supplied the Scaled Score match to National Standards we are able provide the Indicative National Standards grades

of Well Below, Below, At, and Above for Years 6 to 8. This has been treated as an end of year (EOY) summative assessment for 2012 due to the fact

that students still have 10 months of learning to undertake in their relevant Year Group.

• As a result of these Ministry Scaled Score Matches we are also able to supply Comparisons to Equivalent Year Group End of Year Performance. It is

important to note with this graphs that students still have 10 months of learning to get to the appropriate ‘Year Level Performance’

Achievement Summary

1. Overall performance across the school is above National Norms. We have 69% of our students at or above Stanine 5. (Norm =60%). This performance

is 9% above the National Norm.

2. Overall performance trends down over the five year groups, beginning at 81% in Year 4 and finishing at 65% by year 8.

3. In comparison to National Norms our ‘tail’ is small. The tail being the 14% students with Stanine Result 1, 2, or 3 (Norm= 23%). This performance is

9% better than the National Norm

4. Maori Performance is above National Norms and matches or exceeds other ethnic cohorts within the school. We have 74% of our Maori students

at or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%) Our performance is 14% above the National Norm for all ethnicities.

5. Pacific Peoples are well below National Norms with only 36% of students at or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%) This performance is 24% below the

National Norm. However this is marked improvement on 2012 with a lift of 18%.

It is important to note that this group contains only 11 students or 4% of the test population. 6 of the 11 students are English Language Learners. Staff

and management are well aware of this issue and are taking all practical steps to lift the achievement of these students to a level commensurate with

others.

Interventions include:

• individualised tutoring for oral language and reading

• in-class teacher aide support in mathematics

• Use of Lexia programme

• Use of differentiated leaning task and class groupings and programmes etc.

• ELLP used to guide assessment practices and next learning steps

• This student group will feature in our School Targets for 2013 (see 2013 Charter)

6. Indicative National Standards results show that 75% of students are At or Above the Standard when the results are interpreted as summative

assessment for 2011

7. Results over time are trending up for ‘Maori’ and ‘All’. Pacific Peoples show major fluctuations from 2011 to 2013. This is due to transience.

8. All cohorts have made pleasing progress from one year to the next. See Equivalent Year Group Graphs on pages 18-22.
