Binstead Primary School

Our Curriculum

Children's progress is monitored throughout each session. Assessment tells us what each child can do and what they need to be able to do in order to progress. During the child's first year at school the Unique Child Profile is used. As the child progresses through the school they are assessed against national curriculum levels. Skills and attitudes are also assessed.

There are termly assessments in reading, writing, spelling, phonic progression and mathematics. Teachers use on going assessment for learning to inform their planning. End of year assessments include national standard assessment tests (SATs).

Individual assessments may be made.

We think it important to share our knowledge of each child's progress with his/her parents or carers.

Children have targets that they work towards.
