Pupils in Year 1, 4 and 6 have statutory tests each year.  In Year 6 children undertake statutory assessment tests in English and Maths in May.  In Year 1 children have a statutory test: the phonics screening in June. In Y4, children take part in MTC (multiplication test)

The programmes of study within the new National Curriculum set out expectations at the end of each year group and key stage.  St Bernadette’s have developed a curriculum relevant to our pupils that teaches the content of the National Curriculum. In Year 1-6, judgements are made by teachers on confidence against Key Performance Indicators based on expectations of a particular year group.

Progress and attainment is reported regularly to parents through parental consultations and through end of year pupil reports.
