Early Years Results

Children in the EYFS are assessed against the Early Learning Goal (ELG) through ongoing, formative observation of their everyday play, interactions and learning, rather than through formal testing. Practitioners build a holistic picture of each child by noticing what they can do independently and consistently across different contexts, using their professional judgement to determine whether a child has achieved the expected level of development at the end of Reception. Evidence is gathered naturally through conversations, child-initiated activities, and adult-led learning and is not required to be formally recorded unless useful. Teachers then make a final, best-fit judgement for each ELG as either “Emerging” or “Expected.”

Year 1 Phonics Screening Check

The Phonics Screening Check is a short, statutory assessment taken by all children in Year 1 to assess how well they can use their phonics knowledge to decode words. It consists of 40 items: 20 real words and 20 pseudo-words (nonsense words with a phonically decodable pattern such as ‘splod’). The check helps teachers identify children who are making good progress with phonics and those who may need additional support. It is delivered one-to-one by a teacher the child knows and results are reported to parents.

Average score	33.8	34.3	35.3

Year 4 Multiplication Check

The Multiplication Tables Check (sometimes called the MTC for short) is a statutory online assessment taken by pupils in Year 4 to determine how securely they know their multiplication tables up to 12 × 12. The check consists of 25 questions, each with a 6-second response time, and is automatically scored. It is designed to be a low-stakes assessment that helps schools identify pupils who need further support with times table recall. A range of access arrangements are available to ensure the check is fair and inclusive. These include a pause button, rest breaks, and adjustments for pupils with visual, hearing or motor impairments. Schools can also disable the on-screen timer, provide coloured overlays or use approved accessibility software. Access arrangements must reflect normal classroom practice and be recorded during the MTC administration window. There is no set “pass rate” for this assessment.

Measure	National	Local Authority	School
Percentage of pupils reaching full marks	44%  (emerging)	46.6%	65%
Average Score out of 25	21.7   (emerging)	22.1	22.9

 

Year 6 Statutory Assessments (SATS)

Year 6 SATs are national statutory assessments taken by pupils at the end of Key Stage 2 to measure their attainment in reading, mathematics, and grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS), with writing assessed by teacher judgement. The tests provide a standardised measure of how pupils are performing against national expectations and help inform secondary transition. To ensure the assessments are accessible and fair, a range of access arrangements is available for pupils who need additional support. These include extra time, the use of readers (for maths and GPS), scribes, word processors, rest breaks, prompters, and arrangements for pupils with visual or hearing impairments such as enlarged print, braille, or modified test materials. Access arrangements must reflect the pupil’s normal classroom practice and be applied in line with STA guidance to ensure validity and compliance.
