Early Years Foundation Stage

In Early Years Foundation Stage (Star Class), standards are measured by a points system. Points are scored for the number of children attaining certain levels through teacher assessment - the higher the level of achievement, the more points.  Average Point Scores across all 6 areas of Learning for the Foundation Stage are shown below for Eversholt against the national average. We consistently score far higher than the national average, and our last Ofsted report stated that “Children have an outstanding start in the EYFS class…. Standards are much higher than those seen in most schools”.

Key Stage 1

In Key Stage 1 (KS1, Years 1 &2 – Moon Class) standards are again measured by a points system for numeracy, reading and literacy. One point is an approximate measure of the achievement that is expected in 1 term, so in a school year pupils are expected to make 3 points progress in attainment.

The results for Eversholt and the national averages for KS1 are shown below:

At the end of KS1 our children are, on average, 3 points – effectively 1 year - ahead of the national average. 

Key Stage 2

In Key Stage 2 (for Lower Schools this means end of Year 4) the data is shown below:

On average children leave us 4 points above the national average, having made 7 to 8 points of progress in their attainment compared to the expected gain of 6 over Years 3 and 4. As such the school provides “consistently exceptionally high standards at end of Year 4” according to John Carter, our Central Beds appointed School Improvement Partner.
