PERFORMANCE TABLES
At the end of each Key Stage, children undertake tests and assessment tasks to support judgements against a national standard or expectation. These results are used to inform teachers of the strengths and areas for development for your child as they move into the next Key Stage.
At the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage (Reception year when they are 5 years old) the EYFS Profile is completed. At the end of KS1 (Year 2 when they are 7 years old) children sit Statutory Assessment Tests (SATs) and complete assessment tasks. A judgement is made by their class teacher based on the test results and other in class work. At the end of KS2 (Year 6 when they are 11 years old), children sit SATs papers in May. These are externally marked and results are shared with parents in July.
Our results for the last academic year (2017-18) are listed below.
Early Years foundation stage - good level of development
The EYFS Profile is broken down into seven specific areas of learning:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development (PSE)
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
Within each of these areas, there are specific Early Learning Goals – for example, in the case of Communication and language, these are Listening and attention, Understanding, and Speaking. Each child is given an achievement level for each area of learning.
On leaving the Foundation Stage at the end of Reception, a child is considered to have a ‘good level of development’ if they have achieved at least the expected level in the Early Learning Goals in all aspects of PSE, Physical development, Communication and language, Literacy and Mathematics.
Year 1 Phonics Screening Check
The phonics screening check is a short, simple test taken by Year 1 children in England each June to assess their reading ability. Children are required to read 40 words - some of which will be nonsense words. The test enables parents (and teachers) to ensure that children are on track with their word reading by the end of Year 1. Children who cannot successfully read 32 of the words will be given extra support and will be given another opportunity to attmept the test at the end of Year 2.
