Each teacher tracks each individual child in their class for Reading, Writing, Maths, Science and all Non-Core subjects. Using key objectives from their year, children are awarded a score of 1, 2 or 3 based on the depth of their understanding.
Grade 0 would demonstrate that an objective has been taught but a child has not yet understood it.
A grade 1 represents a child’s understanding of an objective when supported.
Grade 2 shows that a child hasa secure understanding of what has been taught, without requiring adult intervention.
To attain a grade 3, children must demonstrate a deeper understanding, usually out of context or by using their knowledge to reason about other areas. For example, in Maths, a grade 2 may be awarded for using column addition to add 8372 and 4251 correctly. A grade 3 would be awarded if children could solve this problem: ‘Using 8 different digits, what is the smallest total you can make when adding two 4-digit numbers together?’
