Performance Data

About the results

Learning is assessed in all classroom interactions. This informs our planning and delivery and requires a flexible approach including start and exit quizzes.

Regular assessments

Staff will use regular testing to assess key aspects of learning and inform next steps.

We use starter quizzes to assess and revisit prior knowledge, alongside exit quizzes to assess pupils’ understanding and attainment at the end of lessons or units of work.

Small class sizes enable regular professional discussion between staff about individual pupils, ensuring teaching and support can be adapted quickly to meet children’s needs and maximise progress.

Formal assessments

Each year we complete 3 formal assessments from year 2 through to year 6. This allows teachers to identify any misconceptions and tailor the learning to the children’s needs. We also report the outcomes of these assessments to parents and carers at our parents evenings and in our end of year reports. This helps parents to identify where any support might be needed at home too.

Examinations are central to the data that is presented to the trust in three updates during the year.

Statutory assessments of pupils take place in various year groups and this data forms part of evaluations of the school by external stakeholders. This includes:

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) profile for pupils in the reception class;
Reception Baseline Assessment
Phonics Screening for pupils in Year 1;
Year 4 multiplication tables check;
Assessments in reading, maths, spelling, punctuation and grammar for pupils in Year 6;
Teacher Assessments of writing in Year 6.
