REPORTING ACHIEVEMENT                    
  
Assessment takes place continuously from the very earliest days at school.  Parents will be asked to contribute to our baseline assessment when their child begins in the Reception class.

In May, statuary assessment takes place at the end of the Key Stages, in Year 2 and Year 6.  Optional SATs are taken by children in Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5.

This year's SATs results 
  
At the Valley School, we believe that children are happiest, and produce their best work, when parents are working in partnership with the school.  For this reason, we believe it is  essential that you have both formal and informal opportunities to discuss your child with the staff.  
    
Parent's evenings are used for this purpose when you can view your child's work.  
  
During the year there will be three open evenings, one each term, at which parents and teachers can discuss children's progress.
  
Shortly before the summer term's parent's evening, you will receive a written report of your child's progress, and should your child have completed a formal assessment at the end of a key stage, you will also receive a report of that assessment.
 
 Parents will be invited to visit the school on other occasions to share our assemblies, sporting activities, book fairs etc.
 
However, parents wishing to discuss any matter concerning their child may see a member of staff after school, when the arrangement of a convenient time can be made.
