Termly Assessments:
Years 2-6 complete a written assessment for Reading, Grammar and Maths each term. Year 1 complete these in the spring and summer terms. Teachers use the results test, as well as their own teacher judgements, to identify specific gaps for individual children, small groups and the whole class.

Multiplication Check - Year 4
Year 4 will sit a short online multiplication check in June. This is to assess their proficiency in recall of their times tables up to 12. Your child will be supported in preparing for these online checks during the lead up to them.
Phonics Check - Year 1
During Monday 8th June to Friday 12th June 2026, the Phonics screening checks will take place for children in year 1. These are short, teacher guided tests that children will be very familiar with by the time they take them. They are very short and test a variety of techniques such as phoneme/graphemes correspondence, decoding and blending sound, real and nonsense word reading.
Year 2 children who did not pass the check whilst in year 1, or missed the check, will also take the test.
