School Performance

Pupils are assessed at key points during their journey through St Clare’s:

• • At the end of reception, children are assessed against the Early Learning Goals to see if they have achieved a “Good Level of Development” (GLD).
  • In Year 1, children undertake a Phonics Screening Check to assess their early reading of sounds (grapheme-phoneme correspondence).
  • In Year 2, children’s writing is assessed by their teacher and they undertake a maths test and a reading test. These are internally marked and benchmarked against tests taken by pupils nationally.
  • In Year 4, children take a Multiplication Tables Check. This is an electronic test of their knowledge and recall of the times tables up to 12 x 12.
  • In Year 6, children’s writing is assessed by their teacher and they undertake a maths test, grammar and spelling test and a reading test. These are externally marked and bench-marked against tests taken by pupils nationally.

Details of the school’s recent results can be found here: Academic Year 2022 23
