Pupils arrive at Hillborough after taking Key Stage 1 SATs at infant school. Regular testing takes place to ensure that progress is monitored. QCA tests are taken in years 3, 4 and 5. Course work is assessed against National Curriculum standards throughout the year using Assessing Pupil Progress grids. These inform future planning and children's work.
As children's work is marked, the teacher will give praise and feedback which allows children to know what their next steps to improve are.
At the end of Year 6, pupils' assessments are finalised and reported to parents. Also, Year 6 pupils sit National Curriculum tests in English and Maths. These are administered in school but the tests are marked externally.
