Performance and Attainment

Pupils complete statutory assessments across the country at four times during their time in KS1 and KS2. In Year 1, all pupils take the Phonics Screening Check which is designed to see how successful they have been at learning the key sounds upon which reading is built.

At the end of KS1, all pupils take Statutory Assessment Tests (SATs) in Reading and Maths. Although the Key Stage 1 SATs are optional, they provide valuable insights for teachers about each child’s progress. The results help inform teaching and learning, ensuring that pupils receive the support they need. Most pupils will be working at age-related expectation (EXS) which means within the average band for their age. Some pupils will be working higher than this level (GDS) and some below. Pupils are also assessed by their teacher against national criteria in Writing.

In Year 4, pupils complete the Multiplication Tables Check. This helps to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics.

In Year 6, pupils take SATs in Reading and Maths along with a test of Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar. Again, most pupils will be working at ARE with some above and some below. Teachers assess the pupils in Writing against strict national criteria.
