Early Years
At the end of your child’s year in reception class, all class teachers will make a judgement against the foundation stage curriculum to ascertain your child’s development. Every child should aim to have a Good Level of Development otherwise known as GLD.
At Sparhawk Infant and Nursery School our GLD is above national standards.
Phonics
Towards the end of Year 1 your child will be take part in a Phonics Screening Check to see how well they can recognise, blend and read real and pseudo words. Some children find reading difficult and if they do not pass the check at the end of year 1 they will take part in the check at the end of year 2.
End of KS1 Tests
Towards the end of Year 2 your child will take part in a few tests to assess their ability in mathematics, reading, spelling and grammar. The class teacher will use these tests to inform their judgments about your child’s progress and attainment in all the core subjects as well as writing.
