Performance Data
Children are initially assessed upon entering school in Reception. This provides a baseline assessment to use as a starting point and measure future progress. It is also crucial in supporting staff to design learning opportunities that meet the needs of the current cohort of children.
The next statutory assessment milestone comes at the end of Year 1, when the children take part in the Phonics Screening Check. This assesses how well they can recognise and blend the phonics sounds they have been learning. If they do not pass at this point, they can resit at the end of Year 2.
SATs are statutory assessments carried out by all state schools. They assess how your child’s abilities compare nationally with other children at the end of their primary schooling.
SATs testing takes place in Year 6, at the end of Key Stage 2 (KS2). National Curriculum tests are in the following subjects: English, Maths and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling.
Writing is assessed by their class teacher, based on a body of evidence, made up of their writing throughout the year. This is moderated within school, as well as across St Cuthbert's Trust. This is also regularly moderated by the local authority to support schools in making accurate and fair judgements.
