Performance
Children's learning is assessed continually throughout the year. Teachers use this assessment information when planning future learning.
For reading, writing and mathematics, we use a variety of resources to assist in measuring pupil's attainment and progress.
In other National Curriculum subjects, children's learning in each year group is measured against outcomes linked to the Key Stage content. At the end of the academic year, a judgement is made to determine whether a child is 'secure' in the Year Group expectations.
Statutory Assessment
In 2020, end of Key Stage assessments did not take place due COVID-19. In 2019, pupils in Year 6 and in Year 2 were assessed against the 'Interim teacher assessment frameworks' for their respective Key Stages. This included national assessment tests in reading, spelling and grammar and mathematics. The teachers also assessed pupil attainment in writing and science.
For pupils in Year 1, the phonics screening test could not take place as normal in June and was instead conducted in December with the Year 2 cohort. This test assessed their ability to apply knowledge of phonics (letters and sounds) when decoding words. Those pupils in Year 2, who didn't pass the phonics screening test, will be supported to work towards the required standard.
Times Tables tests for Year 4 pupils have not yet taken place due to COVID-19.
Results
We are very proud of the achievement of all of our children, some of whom had only been with us for a short time and others who began their journey with us in our nursery. This year we were particularly pleased with the aefforts of all of our children. Some of the children in Year 6 narrowly missed out on achieving a scaled score of 100 by just a few marks and as a school we celebrated with the children regardless of whether they scored 100 or 99.
As a school we place a great deal of emphasis on ensuring children make progress in these core skills, however, we also remain committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum to the children so that they are happy here and hold fond memories of their time at Coppull Primary School.
