All schools across the country are required to complete statutory assessments in different year groups, which are used to assess the learning of the children at different points and used to inform future teaching. Below is some information regarding the different assessments that take place throughout school. If you require any further information regarding any of the statutory assessments, please speak to your child’s teacher.
In June, the Year 1 children will take part in the Phonics Screening Check (PSC), in which children are assessed on their ability to use their phonics knowledge to read a combination of 40 real and made up words. The assessment is administered on a 1:1 basis with a familiar adult. Results of the assessment will be given to parents in their child’s end of year report.
End of Key Stage One Assessments can take place at any time in May and are used as additional evidence for teachers to make their final teacher assessments. Children are assessed in reading, writing and maths using the Key Stage One Teacher Assessment Framework. The final teacher assessments will be shared with parents in their child’s end of year report.

In June, all Year 4 children are to complete a Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided. These assessments are administered between Monday 5th June – Friday 16th June 2023. Results of the assessment will be given to parents in their child’s end of year report.
Please see a copy of the MTC 2023 – Information for Parents for further information.
End of Key Stage Two Assessments will take place from Tuesday 9th May 2023 – Friday 12th May 2023.
Writing is assessed using the Ks2 Writing Teacher Assessment Framework. Results of the assessments will be given to parents in their child’s end of year report.
