Performance data

How we assess the progress and attainment of your children

We regularly gather information about how your child is accessing their learning and making progress against the curriculum objectives. This information enables the class teacher to adapt planning or provide extra support, or challenge, in a particular area.

Information is gathered through:

•            Day to day through questioning, observing and marking
•            Termly tests in Reading, Writing and Maths
•            EYFS Baseline (Year Reception), Phonics Screening Check (PSC Year 1), Multiplication Tables Checks (MTCs 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.
