END OF YEAR ASSESSMENTS

Our curriculum has been designed to develop the whole child. We have chosen our teaching and learning topics to promote inquisitive and independent learners with a respect for the local and wider environment.

Please click the following links to find out more about the national expectations for EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2. In EYFS children are assessed against the Early Years Foundation Stage Goals with assessments shared with parents at the end of the year. In Year 1 pupils sit a statutory Phonics screening check to test their Phonic knowledge. Teacher assessments in Years 1 and 2 are also fed back to parents at the end of the year. 

Below you will find the Early Learning Goals expectations as a user-friendly PDF. You can also find a parent information leaflet about the Phonics Screening expectations for children in Year 1. 

Click here to see the end of Year 2 Expectations - Pupils should be 'working at the expected standard' for Reading, Writing and Maths. Pupils work towards these expectations throughout their time in Key Stage One - at parents evenings and as part of school reports you will be informed whether your child is on track to meet these expectations and what we are doing to support and challenge them. 

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

We follow the agreed syllabus for Religious Education. ‘Living Difference 4’ was agreed by Hampshire, IOW, Portsmouth and Southampton Councils to ensure all schools have a comprehensive understanding of belief systems across the world.  The two faiths that we cover within our RE sessions are Christianity and Hinduism. However, it is essential to provide children with an overview of other religions and we ensure that key celebrations in each religion are discussed as part of our daily schooling as a matter of course.  If you would like to discuss our RE curriculum or opt your child out of RE sessions, please make an appointment to speak with Mrs Ford.
