Key Stage 1 Attainment

At the end of Year 2, teachers submit an assessment against the end of Key Stage framework showing which children met the expected standard at the end of Key Stage 1 and those which exceeded it (described as achieving greater depth).

The information below shows our pupils attainment for 2018/19.

Phonics 

At the end of Year 1, the children undertake a phonics assessment which is carried out one to one by their class teacher to assess their phonic knowledge.

The assessment comprises of 40 words (real and pseudo) which the children are asked to segment, blend and read aloud to their class teacher.

If children read 32 or more words accurately, they are assessed as meeting the required standard in phonics.

If children do not meet the required standard, they will undertake the phonics assessment again at the end of Year 2.
