Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP)

Pupils in Reception (Ducklings class) are assessed against 17 early learning goals. The EYFS profile is a statutory assessment of children’s development at the end of the early years foundation stage (known as a summative assessment) and is made up of an assessment of the child’s outcomes in relation to the 17 early learning goals (ELGs). Children are defined as having reached a Good Level of Development (GLD) at the end of the EYFS (end of Reception) if they have achieved the expected level for the ELGs in the prime areas of learning and the specific areas of mathematics and literacy.

Phonics Screening Check (PSC)

The Phonics Screening Check (PSC) is completed by all Year 1 pupils nationally. It comprises of a list of 40 words that children read one-to-one with a teacher. The test is a combination of both real and ‘made up’ non-words (called ‘Alien Words’) which rely purely on using phonics to decode rather than a child having memorised a familiar word.

Multiplication Tables Check

The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether a child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12. The MTC is an on-screen check consisting of 25 times table questions. Pupils have 6 seconds to answer each question. The DfE currently reports on the number of pupils achieving 25/25, and the average score

End of KS2 Performance Data

At the end of KS2 pupils sit a test in reading, mathematics and Spag (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar). Pupils are assessed by their class teacher in writing. The table below shows the percentage of pupils that achieved the expected standard which is ‘at and above’ (ARE+) and the percentage of pupils that achieved a higher level (GD).

Scaled Scores

The results are reported using a scaled score, with 100 being the ‘expected standard’. The highest possible score is 120 and the lowest possible score is 80.
