How do we assess attainment and progress?

Children are assessed on a 9 point scale using the following categories – emerging, expected and exceeding.

ULT-Assessment-Points-Jan-22

The examples below are based on a year 4 child. If your child is in a different year group the end numbers will be exactly the same – it will simply be the start number that changes, for example, e.g. a year 1 child may be a 1.4 at the end of the year and a year 3 child may be a 3.4.

A term by term explanation based on a year 4 child:
Autumn Term
Average – 4.0 or 4.1
Above Average – 4.2 or above
Below Average – anything that starts with a number that is not a 4 to indicate they are not yet working on the year 4 curriculum

Spring Term
Average – 4.1 or 4.2
Above Average – 4.3 or above
Below Average – anything that starts with a number that is not a 4 to indicate they are not yet working on the year 4 curriculum or a 4.0

Summer Term (End of year)
Average – 4.4 or 4.5
Above Average – 4.6 or above
Below Average – anything that starts with a number that is not a 4 to indicate they are not yet working on the year 4 curriculum or a 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3
