National Expectations Every Year 2 child in the country is assessed throughout May and given a level to show their current ability. Children receive a level for their writing, reading and maths. Children will be graded as ‘Working towards age related’, ‘Working at age related’ or ‘Working above age related’.
Results The results of the tests help the school with the tracking of pupils’ progress, which will continue until Year 6. Each child will receive their results in their annual report.
Expectations Children are given the opportunity in school to practise using past papers so that they are familiar with the layout. The children will be thoroughly prepared for the tests through practise. All the tests will be carried out in silence and it is important that this is stressed to the children. Children are not allowed to leave the room during the tests. All children need to be in school on time throughout the week. If your child is not going to be in school for any particular reason you need to ring the office before the start of the school day. To help your child perform to the best of their ability it is important that they have had a good night’s sleep and breakfast before coming to school.
