Assessing without levels

Baseline assessment for every child in Y1-Y6

Planning to match new curriculum requirements and filling the gaps

Assessment language (provisional)

We will be talking in terms of whether your child is making expected progress and meeting the end of year or two years requirements

Children will be assessed three times a year to see if they are making expected progress, exceeding or working below.

Outdoor learning – hands on, child led

PE – the requirements have stayed pretty much the same except there is more emphasis on swimming.

DB Primary – please look at this to see weekly updates about the learning in your child’s class.

Computing – the requirements for this have changed. Much more emphasis on programming.

SRE – our scheme of work and resources are available for you to see. Please contact Miss Taylor.
