KS1 teacher assessment
At the end of KS1, teachers must make their judgements for each eligible pupil, taking into account the pupil’s progress and performance throughout the key stage (Year 1 & 2). They must base their Teacher Assessment judgement on a broad range of evidence from across the curriculum for each pupil and use their knowledge of a pupil’s work over time, taking into account:
- written, practical and oral classwork
- results of the statutory KS1 tests
- homework Teacher assessment (TA) is the main focus for end of KS1 assessment and reporting.
It is carried out as part of teaching and learning. Schools are not required to report test results to the LA or to parents.
Pupils will be assessed against 4 standards:
- working at the pre-key stage standard
- working towards the expected standard
- working at the expected standard
- working at greater depth within the expected standard.
For Science the children are assessed as working at the expected standard or not. All Teacher Assessment results will be sent out to parents in June and there will be an opportunity to discuss these at Parents’ Evening. In the meantime if you need any further information please speak to your child’s class teacher.
