Formal Assessment
The school undertakes a regular series of internal and external testing in order to establish each child is making satisfactory progress.
During the first half term of starting school, a variety of activities will be undertaken which have been designed to tell us a little about where your child is starting from. All Reception children will undergo the National Baseline Assessment during the first term of their Reception year. These are to inform Y6 teachers of their achievements from their starting points on entering school.
Towards the end of year 1 children undertake a Phonic Screening Check provided by the government.
Towards the end of year 4 all children undertake a Multiplication Timetable Check that is provided by the government.
At the end of each Key Stage, at 7 and 11 years old, the children will be assessed using nationally administered tests. Key Stage 1 SATs (Year 2) and Key Stage 2 SATs (Y6 ) are given during the month of May. All test results are given to parents towards the end of the year.
Ongoing Teacher Assessment
Teachers continually assess the children in their class against the national curriculum.
