Assessment Results
Here are our assessment results for 2024 (Academic Year 2023/24).
National figures are in brackets.
EYFS
At the end of Reception, teachers assess children against the 17 Early Learning Goals (ELG) in the EYFS Profile. Children achieving the ELG in all of the prime areas, mathematics and literacy are said to have achieved a ‘Good Level of Development’ (GLD)
The EYFS Profile is not an accountability measure for schools and the DfE does not publish school level results for the Profile.
The results below show the improvement which children make over their time in our Reception classes in relation to the ELGs and GLD. The National Average for GLD in 2023 was 67%
| Progress | Attainment on Entry | On Track November | On Track March | End of EYFS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Word Reading | 14% | 25% | 49% | 60% |
| Writing | 2% | 6% | 48% | 57% |
| Numerical Patterns | 13% | 20% | 52% | 67% |
| PSED | 18% | 42% | 61% | 62% |
| Achieving good level of development | 2% | 6% | 48% | 56% |
Phonics Screening Checks
Children sit the phonics screening check at the end of Year 1.
This check contains 40 words, 20 real and 20 pseudo-words (alien words). Children are asked to decode the words to demonstrate their phonic skills. Children who do not pass in Year 1, re-sit the check in Year 2.
We consistently achieve above national average results in the phonics screening checks.
| Year | Reaching Expected Standard |
|---|---|
| Year 1 (all pupils) | 83% (79%) |
| Year 1 (disadvantaged pupils) | 83% (67%) |
| Year 2 resits (all pupils) | 90% (89%) |
| Year 2 resits (disadvantaged pupils) | 81% (81%) |
Key Stage 1 (End of Year 2)
End of KS1 assessments (SATs) became non statutory from the 2023/24 academic year onwards and statistics are not published at a national level. We continue to assess children in reading, writing and mathematics and compare this to the age related expectations of the National Curriculum.
We are incredibly proud that the percentage of children, including disadvantaged children who achieve age related expectations are above the most recent national figures for all subjects.
| Subject | Reaching Expected Standard* |
|---|---|
| Reading (all pupils) | 72% (68%) |
| Reading (disadvantaged pupils) | 62% (54%) |
| Writing (all pupils) | 64% (60%) |
| Writing (disadvantaged pupils) | 57% (44%) |
| Maths (all pupils) | 73% (70%) |
| Maths (disadvantaged pupils) | 62% (56%) |
*Note: The figure for ‘Reaching Expected Standard’ includes those working ‘At’ and ‘Above’ Expected Standard (ie. at Greater Depth).
We work hard and do well in our assessments
