Performance & RESULTS

After safeguarding, the school's highest focus is on providing the highest quality education for all our children. We strive to enable every child to reach their full academic, social and creative potential, as explained in our Teaching, Learning & Curriculum Policy.

During the COVID 19 pandemic, now statutory data was gathered in the at the end of the 2018-19 and 2019-20 academic years. During this time, the school continued to use it's bespoke system of internal assessment and moderation.

Statutory assessments were fully completed again in the 2021-22 academic year. Whilst there was no requirement to publish these, we always share our outcomes with our school and wider community. 

In addition to statutory tests, the school assesses pupils' progress every seasonal term (i.e. 3 times each year in Terms 2, 4 and 6) and we track group and individual attainment and progress using our bespoke Learning Tracker tool, which enables staff, leaders and governors to analyse performance and enhance provision.

Helping and supporting your child's education

St Mary's School values and supports parental contributions to their child's education. A range of homework is available to help reinforce children's learning and support parents get involved with their child’s education at home, especially through consolidating the recall of essential knowledge (such as multiplication and number facts) and practicing reading and phonics knowledge.

We base our approach to homework on the research base form the Education Endowment Forum, which can be seen here.

Please visit the appropriate Year Group's Learning Hub to see the current homework for your child. 

Parents and carers are welcome to come into school and help with class reading or other activities.  Please let your child's teacher know of any assistance you would like to give.
