Achievement Results with Student Performance being compared to National Norms
With
Indicative National Standard Results for Year 6, 7 and 8
And
Equivalent End of Year Performances for Years 4,5,6,7 and 8
About this Assessment
• PAT Reading Comprehension 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 2008.
• This test assesses a student’s level of reading comprehension. This is the fifth time that this test have been used at Waikanae School and it provides excellent
insights into the next steps for learning and teaching.
• 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 2011 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 67% of our students at or above Stanine 5. (Norm =60%). This performance
is 7% above the National Norm.
2. Overall performance trends up over the five year groups, beginning at 61% in Year 4 and finishing at 70% by year 8.
3. In comparison to National Norms our ‘tail’ is small. The tail being the 17% students with Stanine Result 1, 2, or 3 (Norm= 23%). This performance is 6%
above the National Norm.
4. Maori Performance is above National Norms and matches or exceeds other ethnic cohorts within the school. We have 69% of our Maori students at
or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%). This performance is 9% above the National Norm for all ethnicities.
5. Pacific Peoples are well below National Norms with only 35% of students at or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%) This performance is 25% below the
National Norm .
It is important to note that this group contains only 17 students or 6.5% of the test population. 11 of the 17 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
• PD for two staff members through Graduate Certificate TEAL
• 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 2012 (see 2012 Charter)
6. Indicative National Standards results show that 87% of students are At or Above the Standard when the results are interpreted as summative
assessment for 2011.
