National Curriculum
The National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 (5-7 year olds) and 2 (7-11 years olds) comprise the Core Subjects and Foundation Subjects.
Core Subjects
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Foundation Subjects
Design & Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music, Physical Education, R.E.
The children follow schemes of work based upon the 'Programmes of Study' and are then assessed in relation to levels within the attain'ment targets.
There is a formal assessment at the end of Key Stage 1 (7 year olds) and Key Stage 2 (11 year olds) using Standard Attainment Tests. (SATs)
When the children enter school they are assessed using the Foundation profiles and the school's own base-line assessment. We use testing throughout the school in October & May to help track progress and inform planning.
Children are set individual targets for Mathematics, Reading & Writing every term. The child has a one to one session with their teacher to discuss their progress and to set new targets. These are shared with parents during target setting days. We aim to keep parents involved and value this close partnership.
