Performance Data
Assessments:
As a school we carry out formal assessments in Reading and Maths each term using the PIRA and PUMA tests. We also assess writing every half term. The results of the assessments are shared at Open Evenings and in our End of Year School Reports.
In all other subject areas we have ongoing assessments which track pupil’s understanding and we use these to support the learning of pupils.
What are SATs?
SATs are statutory assessments carried out by all state schools. They assess how your child’s abilities compare nationally with other children in the same year group.
Key Stage 1 (KS1) SATs are no longer statutory, however as a school we do use the assessment papers to check pupil’s understanding in Reading and Maths at Key Stage 1.
SATs testing takes place at Key Stage 2 (KS2), when your child will take part in National Curriculum tests in English, Maths and SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) at the end of Year 6 (usually age 11).
Other Statutory assessments
In June all children in Year 1 will take part in the PSC (Phonics Screening Check). The purpose of this is to assess the children’s knowledge of phonics, using 40 real and pseudo words. The data from this assessment is reported to parents in the end of year report.
Also in June, all children in Year 4 will sit the MTC (Multiplication Tables Check). This is an online assessment in which the pupils have to answer 25 multiplication questions. This data is also reported to parents in the end of year report.
