At Abbot's Hall, children are assessed against age related expectations for the year group in which they are working using a 'steps' system. However, some children may be working above or below this standard and we are careful to ensure we make valuable and careful assessment against each child's individual starting points to ensure they continue to make progress in all of their learning.
Alongside Statutory Assessment tests (SATs) in Year 2 and Year 6, there are many other ways we may assess children's progress and attainment to ensure they build on their learning throughout their time with us. Some of these assessment methods are listed below.
If a child is working significantly below their peers, we use the Pre-Key Stage standards to assess them at the end of the year - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pre-key-stage-2-standards
