At the beginning of a school year, each teacher will send home information outlining the curriculum for the class for the year.
Each child's progress is monitored continuously by a variety of means. Parents will be informed of their children's progress by:
(a) A twice yearly interview with the child's teacher: first prior to Halloween and the second during February.
(b) A written report on the child's progress completed by the class teacher at the end of June.
In addition there is formal end of Key Stage (Primary 4-7) assessment in place with results validated by CCEA ( Council for the curriculum, examinations and assessment). Results of these assessment are included in the end of year reports for these children.

Providing the child has completed at least one term of the school year, a transfer report will also be completed, with a copy for the receiving school and one for parents.
