Standards at Bishops Waltham Infant School
Every year, teachers in Year 2 make assessments about the level your child is working at. Previously, children also sat a test too and this assessment process was known as SATs. In 2024, children were no longer required to sit a test a the end of Year 2. Progress will now be assessed at the end of the junior school (KS2), against the baseline assessment they sat when they came into Year R. Teachers at Bishops Waltham Infant School, continue to assess at the end of Key Stage one against the end of Key Stage one statements from children's learning in class and their books. At Bishops Waltham our children make excellent progress. We consistently achieve higher than National results and Hampshire results. This is due to our outstanding teachers, excellent curriculum and rigorous target setting and tracking of each individual child-ensuring all children receive the support or challenge they need, when they need it, in their time at our school.
In Year 1 children complete a Phonics Test which consists of reading 40 words using phonics-some are made up words and some are real words. Phonics is a very small part of reading, as our fantastic results at the end of Year 2 show. This test takes place during a week in June.
In Year R, we are judged on children achieving a Good Level of Development. These assessments are on going and take place throughout the year.
Please look at the current year to view our fantastic results.

Standards 2020 and 2021
We do not have any data for the end of the year in 2020 or 2021, due to Covid 19 and the closure of school for the majority of the pupils at different times in those years. From out internal termly data analysis we continued to achieve highly.
