13. BELOW AGE-RELATED EXPECTATIONS
Assessment
Throughout the year, formative assessments are carried out and each child’s progress is assessed against age-related expectations. Your child will therefore be in one of four broad bands for Reading, Writing and Maths:
Below Age-Related Expectations
Emerging
Expected
Exceeding
BELOW AGE-RELATED EXPECTATIONS
EMERGING
EXPECTED
EXCEEDING 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
The expectation is that your child would be in the “Emerging” band at the start of the school year. This is because the curriculum for that year would not yet have been taught to your child. By the end of the school year, the expectation would be that your child would be in the “Expected” band. “Expected” means that your child is working at the expected level for a child of that age.

14. Assessment Parent Consultations will take place in Terms 1 and 4.
End of Year Reports are sent home in July.
