Assessment and SATs

Assessment at Four Lanes Infant School

Children’s attainment and progress are assessed by their teachers continually throughout the school year.  Children are challenged and supported appropriately depending upon their next steps in learning. 

In Reception year, an entry ‘baseline’  assessment will be carried out within the first few weeks of school.  At the end of YR, children’s attainment is measured against the Early Learning Goals—the age related expectation for the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.

In Summer term of Year 1, the children undertake the Phonics Screening Check and are also assessed against the end of Y1 Age Related Expectations of the National Curriculum.
