At Waddesdon Village Primary School, we aim for as many pupils as possible to meet age-related expectations based on the National Curriculum by the end of each year group. Many pupils will meet these expectations during the school year and will start to apply their learning in different ways to work at greater depth. 

We are committed to continuing to strive to ensure that pupils maximise the amount of progress made through their journey at school from their starting points. 

Internal Assessment

At Waddesdon Village Primary School we strive to ensure that all pupils reach their full potential and are supported and nurtured along their pathway to successful learning. 

Throughout the academic year, teachers use a mixture of formative and summative assessment to assess pupils and identify any gaps in learning which are then addressed either in class or through an extra  intervention.

Children are assessed against age related expectations for the time of the year and progress is tracked from the previous academic year and prior key stage.

GDS - Greater depth standard  

EXS - Expected standard

WT - Working towards standard
