Children are assessed in seven main areas: Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED), Communication, Language and Literacy (CLL), Literacy, Mathematics, Physical Development (PD), Understanding the World (UTW), Expressive Arts and Design (EAD). If children achieve in each of those areas, they achieve a Good Level of Development (GLD) - Year 1: Age 6. Phonics Screening Check. Children are assessed on their ability to decode (sound out) familiar and nonsense words. - Year 4: Age 9. Multiplication tables check - Year 6: Age 11. Children take Standard Attainment Tests (SATS). These include reading, writing, grammar, punctuation and spelling, Maths reasoning papers and mental arithmetic. These tests are conducted under test conditions and papers are sent securely to be marked externally.
