Overall standards of reading, writing and Maths are all well above the national average at both Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. Children naturally progress from Nursery to Pre-Prep at the end of Reception (age 5), where the curriculum is built entirely around Key Stage 1 and prepares children for our highly successful Prep School without the added pressure of 7+ entrance exams.
To track pupil progress in a stress-free environment, we use the progress test series provided by GL Assessment, the leading provider of formative assessments to schools in the UK. The progress tests determine an age-standardised score (SAS) for pupils, taking into account each pupil’s age in years and months, and indicate how they are performing relative to the national average.
From Reception, children's progress is assessed and reported in detail, using National Curriculum Levels in core subjects.
