A Guide for Pupil Assessment and Attainment at Marown Primary School
Year 1 to Year 6
At Marown Primary School we use the National Curriculum Levels to assess a child’s progress. The levels at the primary age range from Level 1 to Level 5 (and possibly Level 6).
All children are individuals and so for some children starting school below the national average, achieving a Level 3 at the end of Y6 would be a success.
When a child is in YR they work towards achieving a Good Level of Development. After that (Year 1) we use p scale points to monitor progress until they reach a Level 1c.
This is how the levels build up:
GLD -> 1c -> 1b -> 1a -> 2c -> 2b -> 2b -> 2a -> 3c -> 3b -> 3a -> 4c -> 4b -> 4a -> 5c -> 5b -> 5a -> 6
The levels are then divided into sub-levels, e.g. 2c, 2b, 2a
Sub Level
C - the child has just met the required standard
B - the child is working well within the level
A - the child has reached the top of the level and is working towards the next level
Sub-dividing the levels means that teachers can monitor progress on a term-by-term basis.
The end of year expectations as set by the IOM DESC for each year group are shown below:
Year Group
National Curriculum Level
1 - 1a / 2c
2 - 2b
3 - 2a / 3c
4 - 3b
5 - 3a / 4c
6 - 4b
The children working at Level 5 in Year 6 are working at a better than expected level. It is important, of course, to recognise that pupils will not always progress in a straight-forward, linear manner and that there may not be even amounts of progress each academic year.
How We Assess
Our school uses continuous teacher assessment from Reception class through to Year 6 and the information gathered from this process is used formatively to decide what children need to learn next to improve their performance.
Because each pupil will progress at a different rate, at Marown Primary School we believe nothing can replace accurate, rigorous assessment to enable teachers to determine precisely the attainment levels of pupils, at a particular moment in time.
You will receive updates on the progress your child is making throughout the year and will receive a formal report on teachers’ assessments at the end of each Key Stage (Year 2 and Year 6).
