Assessment and recording   

We assess children in accordance with the schools Assessment Policy, using both formative and summative assessment strategies. We make formative assessments all the time during the maths lesson, through marking their work and the completion of Exit Passes. We also assess children through monitoring their Times Table target cards and their KIRF Passports. 

At the start of each new topic, pupils complete a pre-unit assessment, this is used by the teacher to assess the pupil’s retained learning and any gaps that need to be closed, whether this is on a whole class basis or through small group interventions. The pre-unit assessment should be the topic test for the year before, e.g., the pupils in Year 5 about to start addition, would complete the Year 4 White Rose addition assessment. This would then be marked and stuck into the pupil’s book. 

At the end of each topic, children then complete the year group specific White Rose topic assessment, as a tool to monitor which children have mastered all the unit’s objectives and which children may need to attend booster sessions to close this gap in their learning. 

Formal teacher assessments are made once per term. Teachers base their judgements on evidence in the books alongside the completion of an Arithmetic and Reasoning paper that links to the learning that has taken place since the start of the academic year. These assessments also help us to identify those pupils who are not making expected progress and they are then discussed at Pupil Progress Meetings where intervention will then be planned and put into place.   

In the summer term, Years 2 and 6 will be assessed through the Statutory Assessment Tests for the end of each key stage. Please note, End of Year 2 assessments are a combination of SATs results and teacher assessment.  

As of summer, 2021, Year 4, will complete the Multiplication Test Check (This date has been postponed a year due to Covid-19). This online test comprises of 25 times table questions, with children having 6 seconds to answer each question. The outcomes of this test are for internal use only and will not be shared in the league tables.  This will be statutory from next year (2022), but we are still going to take part this year.

Children in Years 3, 4 and 5 will be assessed through a series of teacher assessment, evidence in books, timed tests, and professional judgement. 

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, levels of understanding are recorded on the Foundation Stage Profile throughout the year as they are achieved. They will be given an end of year ‘age-related’ result.
