South Stanley Infant and Nursery School

Children in Nursery and Reception are assessed against the Prime and Specific areas of learning in the EYFS profile. Assessments are based on daily activities and events. At the end of Reception, for each Early Learning Goal, teachers will judge whether a child is meeting the level of development expected at the end of the Reception year.

Since 2014, children in Ks1 have been taught a revised curriculum, which includes assessment without levels . Children are taught a curriculum, outlined in the National Curriculum's Programmes of Study, for which they will be assessed against age-related expectations . Each year group has a number of objectives that will be covered in the academic year.

Your child will be assessed against these objectives. This assessment will be reported to you for reading, writing and mathematics. What does this mean for you as a parent? Assessment is ongoing, lesson by lesson/week by week, but we collect assessment data formally three times a year prior to Parent Meetings so that we can update you on the progress your child has made.
