Assessment

Statutory End of Key Stage assessments

Springwell pupils are assessed on national statutory assessments at the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 2.  

EYFS

Currently, all of our EYFS pupils are disapplied from the Early Years Baseline Assessment due to their complex needs and working below the level of the baseline.  We monitor and track progress using Tapestry and then submit Foundation Stage Profile assessments at the end of the summer term to the local Authority. 

Key Stage 1

All pupils are working below the levels of statutory testing. Pupils not engaging in subject-specific study are assessed on the Engagement Model.

Key Stage 2

Our pupils are assessed on the Pre-Key Stage standards or the Engagement Model at the end of KS2. All pupils are working below the levels of statutory testing.

IEPs

We set aspirational IEP targets for all Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils. Our pink classes have targets in three key areas (Communication, Attention and Engagement and Well-being). All other pupils have targets in five key areas (Communication, Cognition - Reading, Cognition - Writing, Cognition-  Number and PSHE). IEP targets are reviewed twice throughout the year to ensure that they remain aspirational and achievable.
