School Performance
Assessments at Apex Primary School
At Apex Primary School, we have replaced SATs tests with a diverse range of assessments to gain a comprehensive understanding of our pupils' academic progress and well-being.
By the end of year 6, pupils will be provided with data from the following assessments:
Standardised Tests
- Reading
- GAPS (Grammar and Punctuation, Spelling)
- Mathematics
CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test)
The CAT4 test gives us a detailed view of a pupil's cognitive abilities, covering verbal, non-verbal, quantitative, and spatial reasoning. This helps us understand their academic potential more accurately. The information from CAT4 is valuable for teachers to tailor their instruction and support each pupil effectively throughout the year.
Implemented at the beginning of year 6
PASS (Pupil Attitudes to Self and School)
The PASS assessment looks at three main areas:
- How a pupil feels about themselves
- Their engagement with the curriculum
- Their feelings about school
Through these assessments, Apex Primary School is dedicated to promoting both the academic and personal growth of our pupils.
