More formal assessments are introduced and pupils' work is monitored and reported to parents through half-termly Grade Cards, twice yearly Reports as well as Parent/Teacher Consultation Evenings.

Pupils are taught in mixed ability classes with setting for Mathematics being introduced in Year 3, enabling pupils to progress at a pace appropriate to their ability in this subject.

Homework is more subject based with the continuing expectation that pupils read each night.
