The class teacher will assess the children using their performance in class, and the children's workbooks to inform their judgements.   

As part of their teacher assessment judgements some children will take a standardised test in reading and/or maths.  This will be done at the children's pace and usually in a small group.  This will assess the children against a nationally standardised score, and is used to help triangulate our judgements.  We do not release the results of these tests as they are a small part of a bigger picture.

Children are regularly assessed in their phonics using the Government phonics check materials.  There is an information guide in the sidebar.

At the end of the year, Year 2 children are assessed by their teacher against the Age Related Expectations for the Key Stage. The Year 2 SATS are no longer statutory and the school does not report the results (if taken) to the Department for Education or to parents.  Some children may sit some papers to help inform the teacher judgement at the end of Year 2.
