Understanding how we assess the progress and attainment of your children.
We are constantly gathering information about how your child is accessing their learning and making progress against the curriculum objectives. This then informs the class teacher’s planning and indicates where a child might need extra support, or extension, in a particular area.
Information is gathered in various ways
- Day to day through questioning, observing and marking
- Half termly tests in Reading, Writing & Maths
- EYFS Baseline, PSC (Year 1), MTC (Year 4) and National Standardised Tests at the end of the Key Stage 2 (SATs)
Key Stage 2 School and National Data 2023/24
Attainment (average scaled scores): Children’s results are reported using a scaled score. A scaled score of 100 represents the expected standard for each test. A child achieving a scaled score of 100 or more means they are working at or above the expected standard in the subject. Less than 100 means that they may need more support to reach the expected standard. The highest scaled score possible at KS2 is 120, and the lowest is 80. There is more information on scaled scores at www.gov.uk/guidance/scaled-scores-at-key-stage-2
