KS2 Assessments

The majority of Willoughby pupils are working well below age related expectations and therefore are unable to access external statutory assessments. However, we have high aspirations for all pupils and each year we identify any pupil who is at a level to complete the assessments.

Throughout the year we participate in moderation events to support high quality teaching and learning.
