Performance Data & Statutory Assessment

ASSESSMENT

All teachers continually assess pupils' learning through classroom observation, marking, discussion with pupils and assessment tasks. This ongoing assessment is used to help teachers decide what pupils need to learn next and to identify any areas in which pupils need additional teaching or challenge to progress their learning. This is discussed with parents and carers at Parent / Teacher meetings in November and March each year.

In addition, pupils are also assessed at the end of each year to give a summary of how well they are doing in relation to what is expected for their age in the National Curriculum - this is often abbreviated to ARE (age-related expectations). This end of year assessment in Reading, Writing, Maths and Science is reported to parents and carers in the written pupil report in July each year.

STATUTORY ASSESSMENT

The DfE also require schools to complete statutory assessments at certain points during a child's time at primary school. These are national assessments completed at the same time by all pupils in state schools. The results are reported to parents, the government and the local authority. Schools are required to publish a KS2 summary on their school website too as well as a link to national performance tables - see the table and link below. New assessment tests were introduced in 2016, for KS1 & 2, so this year no direct comparison can be made with previous years as the content and scoring have changed.

The statutory assessments are:

Early Years Foundation Stage Profile at the end of Reception

Year 1 Phonics Screening Check in June of year 1

KS1 SATs (Reading Comprehension, Arithmetic, Mathematical Reasoning and Grammar, Spelling & Punctuation) during May of year 2. Teacher assessments for writing & science are reported too.

KS2 SATs (Reading Comprehension, Arithmetic, 2x Mathematical Reasoning and Grammar, Spelling & Punctuation) during early May of year 6. Teacher assessments for writing & science are reported too.

In 2016 the DfE introduced a new way of calculating the progress of pupils from KS1 - KS2 which is explained in detail on their website. South Kilvington's scores in all three subjects are typical of most schools (ie in the same band as 60% of schools nationally).
