School Level Assessments

Regular assessments are made of each child's progress in all subjects and these are used by teachers to plan the next steps in learning. Formal termly assessments are also conducted in English and Maths and the next steps in learning are shared with parents at termly parent/teacher conferences. In addition, parents receive a written Annual Report in the summer term which summarises their child's overall progress and attainment.

External Assessments

Standard Assessment Tests (SATs) are made up of a combination of testing and teacher assessment judgements and are used in all government-funded primary schools in England to assess the attainment of pupils against the programmes of study of the National Curriculum in Year 6, at the end of Key Stage 2. 

Primary schools must publish their most recent key stage 2 performance measures, as published by the Secretary of State, comprising:

• the percentage of their pupils who achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (combined)
• the percentage of their pupils who achieved a higher standard in reading, writing and maths (combined)
• their pupils’ average scaled score in:
  • reading
  • maths
