In
the nursery we have a Baseline Assessment procedure which
provides a profile of development at nursery entry.
This information allows both staff and parents to judge the
progress of children throughout the Nursery Years.
|
|
| |
|
A
record of reading readiness, sounds known, numbers, pencil control,
concentration, social awareness and so on. |
|
| |
|
When children move in to the reception class the receiving
teacher has an accurate account of the curriculum areas covered
throughout the Nursery years.
All parents are kept closely informed as to the development
of their children and we have Open Evenings each term when
work is viewed and progress discussed. |
|
| |
|
At
Key Stages 1 and 2 children are tested on a regular basis to
monitor progress. |
|
| |
|
There is a weekly spelling and maths test and homework is set
each evening based around the core subjects of the National
Curriculum.
There are termly Open Evenings for parents to view work and
discuss progress or concerns.
Examinations are set in the Summer Term based on work completed
throughout the academic year. |
|
| |
|
These
results are detailed on the annual school report which parents
receive in June. |
|
| |
|
SATS
come at the end of Key Stage 1 and at the end of Key Stage 2.
These results give the national average level of achievement
reached at the end of each Key Stage. Children with reading
difficulties are closely monitored and receive additional specialist
help / Individual Education Programmes with a high focus on
the areas of concern.
|
|
| |
|
Parents
are consulted and kept fully informed as to the progress made. |
|
| |
|
Children
are encouraged through a structured reading programme to become
good readers.
Here at Bicker we focus on what the child can do [not what they
cannot do] and use that as a starting point for their future
education. |
|
| |
|
Children
are expected to attend for full terms to ensure that all areas
of the curriculum are covered. |
|
| |
|
Family
holidays in term time create huge gaps in a child's education
which can rarely be retrieved; evidence of this is seen when
assessment and testing take place during the Summer term. |
|
| |
|
11+
Examination in Year 6 |
|
| |
|
Children
are prepared and familiarised with the examination techniques
of timed tests and ensuring the questions will have been fully
understood.
Parents choose whether or not to enter their child for the
11+ Examination.
The test takes place at the chosen Grammar / High School during
the Autumn Term.
Staff and parents together consider the attributes of every
child to ensure that the child is matched to the right school
when the time comes for Secondary transfer. |
