Assessment

bag of tools ict suite

Teachers assess children all the time as the basis for day to day planning of work. This is done informally through observation, discussion with the child and consideration of the quality of work.

More formal assessment takes place at the following times:

On entry into school assessments are made using the Foundation Stage stepping stones. Teachers share their assessment of a child’s achievements with parents, during the Autumn term . Children are assessed again against the early learning goals of the foundation stage curriculum to complete the national foundation stage profile before transfer into year 1.

At any time when there is concern regarding progress a child may be assessed individually for the purposes of planning appropriate work or allocating special needs assistance. This may be done by the class teacher or the school’s Special Needs Co-ordinator, Mrs. White, the school psychologist, school doctor or nurse, or the speech therapist. Parents are involved at every stage of this process.

All 7 year olds are assessed in their final term before transfer to the junior school.

Records of your child’s progress

Teachers of children in years 1 and 2 keep comprehensive records of progress in the core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science and termly assessments are carried out. Records kept are confidential to the school and the child’s parents or guardians. They are important in enabling teachers to communicate in a helpful and constructive way about how well a child is progressing in learning.

You may arrange through the Headteacher to see your child’s record, although it may be more helpful to discuss progress with the child’s teacher, when fuller explanations can be given than it is possible to record on official records.

Opportunities to discuss your child’s work

If you have any queries or are at all concerned about your child please contact the school office and make an appointment to see the class teacher or Headteacher. Staff are usually available after school if your enquiry is of a general nature. Staff are available for parent interviews on Tuesdays between 2.55 pm and 3.15 pm, please contact the office for an appointment. Open evenings are held regularly when appointments can be made to discuss your child’s work. You will receive a written report on your child’s progress at the end of each school year
