We are very proud of the achievements that our children make. We recognise the strength of every child in many ways. Outcomes from national assessments are only one measure of the brilliant successes and talents we see in our children.
How are the results gathered?
- Each year, children in Year 6 and Year 2 complete ‘SATs’. These are national assessments, which take place in May. Tests are taken in Reading, Grammar and Mathematics. Teacher assessment is undertaken for Writing.
- Children in Year 1 also complete a ‘Phonics Screening Check’. This is a national measure and is used to identify children’s understanding of letters and sounds.
- In Year 4, children undertake a ‘Multiplication Tables Check’ in June each year. This identifies the percentage of children who achieve full marks (25) on the assessment. There is no pass mark.
- Information gathered about children in Reception (The Early Years Foundation Stage) is used to compile an ‘Early Years Profile’ at the end of the year.
The outcomes for children at Sleights in July 2023 are reported below. For some areas, there are no comparisons available with national data (correct at the time of print in July 2023).
In 2021 and 2020, there were no data collections. The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.
