Behind the scenes
SATS KS1 Print E-mail

Your child will take national tests at the end of Key Stages 2 and 3. The tests are intended to show if your child is working at, above or below the target level for their age. This helps the school to make plans for their future learning. It also allows schools to see whether they are teaching effectively by comparing their pupils' performance to national results.

Key Stage 1 teacher assessments, tasks and tests

Teacher assessment for seven year olds covers:

  • reading
  • writing
  • speaking and listening
  • maths
  • science

These assessments take account of how your child performed in Key Stage 1 tasks and tests for seven year olds. The tasks and tests cover:

  • reading
  • writing (including handwriting and spelling)
  • maths

The tasks and tests can be taken at a time the school chooses. They last for less than three hours altogether. The results are not reported separately but are used to help the teacher assess your child's work. By the age of seven, most children are expected to achieve level 2.

The teacher assessment is moderated by your local authority. This is to make sure teachers make consistent assessments of children's work.

Charlwood PTA Print E-mail

At Charlwood, all parents automatically become members of the PTA. This is not as scary as it sounds, as most of the organisation and work is undertaken by the PTA committee.

The Governing Body Print E-mail

Every Community School has a Governing Body made up from representatives of the parent body, staff and the local community. Whilst the Headteacher is responsible for the day to day management of the school, the Governing Body takes a strategic view in deciding the policies and codes of practice which govern the different aspects of school life; things as different as the conditions and fees for school lettings, the kind of spiritual experiences to provide the children and the provision of out-of-school activities. The Governors also appoint staff and deal with grievances or problems which remain unresolved after the Headteacher has considered them.
