Year 5 - Kestrels

Welcome to Year 5 and Kestrels!

Kestrels are taught by Miss Draper with Mrs Smith and Mrs Parr as Teaching Partners.

The children in Year 5 are now in upper Key Stage 2 and the increased expectations reflect this. In a supportive and caring environment the children are challenged to continue to build on their learning skills, knowledge and understanding so they can truly succeed in their learning.

Assessment

There are no statutory assessments carried out at the end of Year 5, however teacher assessments are used to make judgements about how well your child is performing in reading, writing, maths, science, speaking and listening and spelling, punctuation and grammar throughout the year.
Here is a video which gives details of the type of national formal assessments which take place in May when pupils are in Year 6.
