Assessment

How Are Children Assessed At Cannon Lane Primary School? 

 

Reception

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. 

Year 1In Year 1 children are assessed throughout the year by the class teacher. This is moderated at least termly by senior leaders. Children are assessed against National Curriculum Year Group expectations (working towards, expected or exceeding). All Year 1 children take part in the National Phonics Screening Check in June. These results are shared with parents at the end of the Summer Term. If children do not achieve the expected standard in the phonics check, they will re-sit this check in Year 2.
Years 2,  3, 4 & 5

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

Year 6

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. 

 

* 'Greater Depth' explained
In Year 6, ‘Greater Depth’ is only assessed in writing. In order for a child to be working at ‘Greater Depth’ they must meet all of the standards identified in the Key Stage 2 Teacher Assessment, see document below. Whereas in years before this may have been a ‘best fit’ model, children are now required to demonstrate competence in each of the statements.
