Assessment

In the Reception class, children’s attainment and progress is assessed on an ongoing basis by the class teacher.  Teachers carry out the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) within the child's first few weeks of school. At the end of Reception Class, teachers assess whether children are Emerging or Expected the Early Learning Goals. Further information can be found at: www.gov.uk/early-years-foundation-stage. At the end of the year your child will receive a written report from school explaining your child's attainment across all areas of learning as well as written information about your child's progress and achievements over the year. 

Children are assessed throughout the school year by their class teacher.  These assessments are moderated within the year group, across different year groups  and between a group of schools across the Local Authority.  Children are assessed against age related expectations set out in the National Curriculum  (working towards expected standard; working at expected standard or working at greater depth). At the end of the school year, parents receive a school report which shares teachers’ assessments in each subject area.  In Year 4, all children take part in the National Multiplication Check which takes place in June - Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check UK Government Info

Children are assessed throughout Year 6 as they are in Years 2-5. At the end of Year 6, children take part in national assessment tests in reading, mathematics and spelling, punctuation and grammar. Writing is assessed by teachers and regularly moderated by the Local Authority. At the end of the Summer Term, parents receive an annual report from the school which shares children’s test results as well as teacher assessments.
