Assessment Information

All adults in school contribute towards ongoing assessment for the children they work with.

In every year group we give children incisive, purposeful feedback in class and mark books in line with our marking policy. When children start school in the EYFS we use the statutory Reception Baseline Assessment tool to capture on-entry attainment seen in communication and language, mathematics and literacy. We use our observations of children as they learn through play to plan and organise an enriching learning environment. At the end of EYFS, we inform parents whether or not their child has reached a good level of development (GLD).

In Year 1, the children take part in the national phonics screening check in June. This helps us to identify any gaps the children may have so they can continue to be supported with appropriate phonics teaching in Year 2. At the end of Year 2 we use ongoing teacher assessment to inform parents whether their child is working at the expected standard within the Year 2 curriculum.

Pupils in Year 4 take the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC), where they receive a score out of 25. At the end of Year 6 the children sit SATs and parents are informed whether their child is working at the expected standard for Year 6.
