2024/25 Academic Year
Reception Baseline Assessment
Schools must complete the Reception Baseline Assessment for each child in the first 6 weeks after they enter Reception.
Please see below information about how you can support your child at home if they are in Reception, as well as about the Reception Baseline Assessment.
Reception - End of Year
At the end of the year in Reception, the children are assessed in the 7 areas of the curriculum, as well as an overall assessment to outline whether each child has reached a 'Good Level of Development'.
The table at the bootom of the page outlines the school's results in June 2024, comparing the school's results with the national results.
Key Stage 1 - Phonics
In June each year, most children in Year 1 will be assessed on the Phonic ability by taking the Phonics Screening Check. This check asks the child to read a set of 40 words - a mixture of real words and 'pseudo' words (also known as 'nonsense' words) that contain a range of sounds that are taught during Reception and Year 1.
If a child is unsuccessful in passing the Phonics Screening Check at the end of Year 1, or if they were disapplied in Year 1, they will be required to take the check again at the end of Year 2.
Please see below information about the Phonics Screening Check, and what you can do at home to support your child with their Phonics.

As this table shows, the school's Phonics results are in line or better than the national figure for: all pupils, males, females, disadvantaged pupils.
We will further investigate the provision we give for children with SEND, and children with English as an additional language, in order to aim to improve their Phonic skills by the end of Year 1.
Key Stage 1 - End of Year 2
There is now no longer any requirement for schools to carry out any formal assessments at the end of Key Stage 1. As a school, we have decided to not complete non-compulsory assessments; instead, we provide Teacher Assessment levels to Thornton Primary School (or an alternative setting) when they leave Sladefield at the end of Year 2.
If you are interested in looking in more detail at our school performance, and being able to compare this with other settings, please click on the link at the bottom of this page that takes you to the 'Compare School and College Performance in England' site for Sladefield.
