Progress & Attainment
Progress & attainment are rigorously monitored and teacher assessment provides ongoing information on what an individual pupil has learned at key points throughout the year. Age appropriate testing is used to balance teacher assessment and to provide an analysis of the areas of learning that need to be secured next.
Our absolute focus is on enabling all children to reach the Age Related Expectations (AREs) and beyond. We closely monitor the progress throughout the year and report this in detail to the Governing body three times a year. We are working hard to ensure that all children receive the balance of challenge and support required to achieve their best.
Class teachers are experts in recognising and identifying attainment and progress through constant observations. A range of evidence is used to create a full picture of child’s abilities and progress.
