How is your child assessed?
In September 2014, the Government introduced a new National Curriculum, known as National Curriculum 2014.
- Emphasis on quality teaching, learning and ongoing teacher assessment (not always formal testing).
- Nature of final assessments not confirmed.
- Interim measures to account for rise in expectations.

6. READING AT HOME Sit comfortably and limit distractions.
Before reading, discuss the cover or illustrations – what might the story be about?
When listening, don’t rush to correct mistakes unless it significantly alters meaning.
Characterisation – put on voices to make them come to life.
After reading discuss what has been read. Ask questions about events, characters and predict what might happen next.
Ask your child to make comparisons within the book and with other books
Always praise and comment on progress.
Read to them yourself and communicate your own enjoyment.
Read with a dictionary to support reading as writers.
Model being a reader yourself.

7. Writing It is school policy that children write cursively
We believe that writing is important not only in English lessons, but across the breadth of the curriculum
The ‘Big Write’
Reading regularly boosts writing!
Encourage children to write at home:
Film reviews
Stories
Instructions
Biographies
Diaries
Newspaper articles
Poetry
