Understanding National Assessments
Primary school assessment is measured against national standards set by the Department for Education.
Early Years Foundation Stage – Reception
At the end of Reception, children are assessed against the Early Learning Goals.
A child achieves a Good Level of Development (GLD) when they meet the expected level in the required areas of learning.
Phonics – Year 1
Children complete the national Phonics Screening Check in Year 1.
The check contains 40 words and the expected standard is normally 32 out of 40.
Children who do not meet the expected standard in Year 1 receive additional support and normally take the check again in Year 2.
Multiplication Tables Check – Year 4
Children in Year 4 complete the statutory Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).
Children answer 25 multiplication questions. The assessment helps schools understand how fluently children can recall their multiplication tables.
Key Stage 2 – Year 6
At the end of Year 6, pupils take national assessments in:
- Reading
- Mathematics
- Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS)
Writing is assessed through teacher assessment.
In the national tests, a scaled score of 100 or above means a pupil has met the expected standard.

- Year 1 Phonics increased from 73% to 83%;
- Early Years maintained a strong 80% Good Level of Development; and
- Year 4 multiplication table outcomes remained above the national figure.
Our Priorities
We continually review our results so that we can identify what is working well and where further improvement is needed.
- maintaining strong outcomes in Reading and Writing;
- sustaining the significant improvement in Mathematics;
- increasing the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard/greater depth, particularly in Mathematics and Writing;
- maintaining strong Early Years outcomes;
- continuing to strengthen early reading and Phonics;
- maintaining strong multiplication table fluency; and
- ensuring that all groups of pupils make strong progress from their individual starting points.
What Does This Mean for Parents and Carers?
Assessment results are important because they help us understand how well children are learning and where we need to improve.
However, examination and assessment results are only one part of a child's education.
At Bonneygrove Primary School, we want children to leave us as successful learners who are confident, resilient, ambitious, creative, kind and inclusive.
We will continue to use assessment information carefully to improve teaching, identify children who need additional support and ensure that every child is appropriately challenged.
