Our Outcomes
Children are assessed throughout their time in school to determine whether they are achieving as well as we would expect.
At the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage, teachers judge whether children are achieving what is expected of them in five of the seven areas of learning. Children who achieve well in these areas are deemed to have achieved a ‘good level of development’.
At the end of Year 1 children take a test in phonics called the ‘Phonic Screening Check’. This supports teachers to determine how well they are achieving in developing the skills of early reading so further support can be put in place if necessary.
At the end of Key Stage 2 (in Year 6) children take SATs tests in Reading, Maths and Grammar, punctuation and spelling to determine whether they have achieved the expected standard or higher. There is no test for Writing, but teachers use a strict criteria to assess the standard of children’s written work.
