Yr 1 attainment levels

[lulu2]

Do schools have to put a child's attainmemt level in their annual report?

ooops sorry i meant attainment

I don't think schools HAVE to put anything in a report. It's at the discretion of the school. Maybe wrong though.

Only at the end of each Key Stage

I think!

thanks for replies. Just that i got dd's report today and no mention of levels.
seems odd as the school listed yr 1 targets in their transition guide which we were given at the end of reception.

No, they don't have to. They are a bit meaningless for many parents. It should be clear from the report whether the child is working below, at or above the expected level for their year group. If not, I would be asking the teacher for that information.

My Yr 1 child report has a section where they tick whether they are working at average level or below or above average.

You're right, cece - the only time that statutory reporting of teacher assessment levels is required is at the end of both key stages - Y2 and Y6.

We used to get reports which (deliberately) gave me absolutely no indication of how my child was doing. i.e. Jusst DS can do X Y and X but no mention of whether this was average, below, or above.

I think you should ask the teacher. If they won't tell you, you have lost nothing....

thanks for replies. I am going to parents evening this week to ask.

I'd second speaking to the teacher as it puts it in some kind of context for you and your child personally rather than as compared to a national average.
