Assessment and Performance
You can download a table showing our 2023 results at the end of KS1 and KS2. Please also see the letter from the Bath and Wells Multi Academy Trust regarding the KS2 results.The KS1 table shows a summary of the 2023 National Curriculum assessment results of pupils in the school at the end of Key Stage 1, as a percentage of those eligible for assessment. The number of eligible children is 30. Figures may not total 100 per cent because of rounding. The Year 1 Phonics Screening Test results are also included.
The KS2 table shows the percentage of Year 6 pupils achieving ‘expected standard’ or above in 2023, compared to national end of Key Stage 2 Teacher Assessment Levels and Test Results for 2023 (where published). The number of eligible children is 34. Figures may not total 100 per cent because of rounding.
The government school and college performance tables also provide performance data. The data regarding Bathwick St Mary Church School can be accessed at the Government’s School Performance Comparison Service
Although due to COVID-19 all exams were cancelled nationally in 2020 and 2021, we continued to provide a well-rounded curriculum for all our children to support them as they moved to the next stage of their education. An example of this curriculum can be found on the Bathwick Curriculum page.
Latest Parent and Children Surveys
To help our school continue to develop and improve, we annually send a questionnaire to all parents and all year six children. This allows our Governing Body to understand parental and child points of view and help evaluate strategies for our next School Development Plan. The annual surveys are usually conducted every July, although this process was disrupted during Covid. We are pleased with the overwhelmingly positive responses. Please review the results from 2019 below:

Assessment
Assessment determines any decisions about pupils’ further learning needs. National assessment takes place when children are seven (Year 2) and eleven (Year 6) using external tests. The Reception children are assessed at the end of the Reception year against the Early Learning Goals – with on-going assessment and reporting throughout the first year at school.
The results of the National Curriculum assessments will be passed on to parents along with national comparative data. However, ongoing assessment takes place throughout the school, closely linked to teachers’ planning which helps provide a more accurate match between teaching content and learning needs and actively engages children in their own learning.
