Assessment at Hurst Green Overview
Rationale
At Hurst Green Primary School we believe that regular and robust assessment of the children’s learning is fundamental. The whole school assessment framework allows educational objectives to be systematically set that extend and challenge the children so that they can reach their potential.
Assessment Principles
At Hurst Green Primary School we aim to use the principles and processes of assessment to:
The National Picture
In September 2014, a New National Curriculum was introduced to all maintained schools throughout England. English, Maths and Science remain very important and are considered the core subjects in both primary and secondary education. The New National Curriculum sets out in some detail what must be taught in each of these subjects, and they will take up a substantial part of your child’s learning week.
Alongside these are the familiar foundation subjects: Art, Computing, Design & Technology, Foreign Languages (age 7+ only), Geography, History, Music, and Physical Education. For these foundation subjects, the details in the curriculum are significantly briefer: schools have much more flexibility regarding what they cover in these subjects.

How does this affect your child?
If your child is currently in Year Two and Year Six they will be assessed against the new governmental assessment system this academic year and will sit the New National Curriculum tests in Summer 2016.
If your child is currently in Year One, Year Three, Year Four or Year Five they will be assessed against the New National Curriculum End of Year Expectations and will sit the New National Curriculum tests from Summer 2016.
In order to inform you about the standard that The Department for Education now expects of your child we have produced the Hurst Green Performance Standards. These are written versions of the expectations and objectives outlined in the New National Curriculum and represent what is expected of a child by the end of each academic year in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. These Performance Standards form the basis of the school’s New National Curriculum assessment framework and are used by the teachers when assessing your child’s learning.
