Has anyone else heard about the SUPER SCALES?
On my moderation afternoon they showed us a list of the super scales for example in LCT and LSL point 7 is a super scale.
This was flashed up at the end of the afternoon (brain had become dazed and confused by this point) and i wrote something down along the lines of, if they get these super scale points they are ready for KS1 curriculum.
Did I hear that right?

Hi Verityn,
Super Scale points were highlighted at our moderation meeting however what was said is that there is a correlation between these chn who achieve 6 or more in these scale points and children who get level three at KS1 sats. A comment was made that if you want to boost the number of level three's then really emphasise these scale points.

There were three super scale points but I can't remember exactly what these were off the top of my head. I think there was one PSE but can't remember which one - dispositions and attitudes??? Language for Thinking was definatly one but can't remember whether the other was linking sounds and letters or a PSRN. Will have a look at my notes when I get home tonight and let you know if nobody else with a better memory than I comes along in the meantime.

Thats interesting i have supper scales for most areas of learning

PSED
DA 6 and 8
SD 5

LCT 7
LSL 7

writing 6
NLC 8
C 8
ssm 8
KUW 4 and 5

Don't agree that these could possible be level 3 children in the future if it is the case then the super scales should come with a big health warning.
