How do teachers assess your child at Glebe

The National Curriculum statements and objectives set out the expectations for each year group. These form the basis of what your child is expected to know and when.

Planning is based upon these expectations. Continual assessment will indicate whether your child is working:

below their current year group expectations
towards year group expectations
at year group expectations
working at greater depth

Upon entering our school in Reception:

Your child will be given a short baseline assessment which looks at all aspects of your child’s development. This is completed by the teacher to find your child’s individual starting point.

End of Year 1

During the summer term of Year 1, your child will have their knowledge of phonics assessed using the statutory phonic screening check.

The check consists of 40 words and non-words that your child will be asked to read one-to-one with a teacher. Non-words (sometimes called alien or nonsense words) are made-up words that follow phonics patterns your child has been taught but do not have a meaning. Children read these words by using their decoding skills rather than relying on memory or context. The check helps teachers assess how securely children can apply their phonics knowledge to unfamiliar words. Children receive one mark for each correctly read word and their score is compared with the national expected standard. Children who do not meet the expected standard will receive additional support and will retake the check in Year 2.

End of Year 4

The Multiplication Tables Check

The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a statutory assessment for all pupils in Year 4 in England. It is designed to determine whether children can recall their multiplication facts up to 12 × 12 accurately and fluently, helping to ensure they are well prepared for the mathematics curriculum in upper Key Stage 2.

The check takes place during a two-week period in June, with schools choosing when their pupils complete it within the national testing window. All state-funded schools in England, including maintained schools, academies, free schools and special schools, are required to administer the check.

The MTC is completed online using a computer or tablet. Children answer 25 multiplication questions, with a limited amount of time available to answer each one. The assessment focuses on rapid recall of multiplication facts rather than written calculation methods.

The purpose of the check is to identify pupils who may need additional support in developing their multiplication fluency. A strong knowledge of times tables helps children with many areas of mathematics, including fractions, division, percentages and problem-solving.

End of Key Stage 2 (Year 6)

When your child reaches Year 6 they will sit National Tests at the end of the year in maths, reading and grammar, spelling and punctuation.

These will be externally set and externally marked. Your child will be given a scaled score, which parents will be able to compare with the average for the school, the local area and nationally. A scaled score of 100 or more would show that they had met the expected standard in the test.

*Please note that writing and science will be assessed through teacher assessment only.
