Children are assessed frequently: teacher observation, teaching team discussions, records of work and a variety of tests are combined to profile each child’s progress as he or she moves through the school. Close co-operation and liaison between members of staff helps to ensure continuity. From Year 2, the children’s achievements in maths, English and science are formally assessed each term using National Curriculum Levels. Written reports are sent to parents at the end of each term, Parents' Evenings are held twice a year, and our annual Open Day provides parents with the opportunity to look in detail at their children's work and classroom displays. Parents are encouraged to keep in touch with their child’s form teacher on a week by week basis.
