Making Sense of Your Child’s End of Year School Report

how to deal with school reports

We’re approaching the end of yet another academic year, and your child’s end of year school report will soon be on its way to you. And if you’re wondering how you’re supposed to make sense of it, you’re not alone. More than 40% of our students’ parents expressed confusion about such reports, expressing various concerns from vagueness to comment automation and more. This guide breaks down each part of the school report, helping you to understand your child’s progress throughout the year more fully while alleviating any concerns you may have. 

What is an end of year school report?

End of year school reports are supposed to summarise your child’s performance at school for the academic year. In it, you’ll typically find a short paragraph explaining their abilities in each subject, but they’re often surface-level comments with no insight into anything specific. There’s also a short section on behaviour and a goal for the year ahead. 

The Department for Education  requires schools to deliver these reports as an official mode of communication between teachers and parents at least once a year. Each report should highlight the following: 

 – Brief particulars of achievements in all subjects and activities forming part of the school curriculum.

– Comments on general progress.

– Details of how parents can arrange a discussion about the report with their child’s teacher.

While this sounds like a good idea, some parents question the usefulness of their child’s end of year school report. Often, parents will compare reports and notice that comments are often similar, leading some to suggest that reports are automated. Moreover, some teachers have admitted that they have access to report writing tools to support them in their endeavour, leading to many having no choice but to work overtime. 

Many parents are quick to brand this generic and unfair ; however, you should note that not all teachers will use these style reports, and many will willingly delve deep into your child’s progress and overall performance. If in doubt, remember that you have the right to ask. 

How do teachers measure progress for each Year group? 

Teachers measure progress differently depending on the age of their students. Each Year group and, on a broader level, key stages have specific requirements that students are expected to fulfil. For example, by the end of Year 4 maths, children are expected to know all 12 times tables. And so, teachers will refer to such milestones to measure a student’s progress. 

This year, the Department for Education has  decided to remove the requirement to report definitive outcomes for key stage 1 and 2 tests and teacher assessments.  Therefore, if this information is missing from the end of year school report, you should not be concerned. 

How to make sense end of year school reports at the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)?

Schools at this stage usually issue school reports for EYFS pupils, but the guidance is not as established as primary school reports. With that, even if your child is in Reception, schools will need to complete an EYFS profile for your child. It’ll help the school assess pupils’ overall progress and support teachers in the next stage (KS1) to understand a student’s overall ability.

This profile will include a summary of your child’s attainment and will state the Early Learning Goals (ELG’s) : 

  • Emerging (1): your child is working below the expected level.
  • Expected (2): working at the level expected for their age.
  • Exceeding (3): performing above the desired level.

At the end of the academic year, the school will include an end of year school report that will explain: 

Your child’s attainment against the ELG’s with summaries included.

Progress made during the year. This consists of the three characteristics of effective learning (playing and exploring, active learning and creative thinking critically.)

Standard end of year school reports

During the academic year that does not consist of a national exam, i.e. year 1,3,4 and 5, there are no specific formats that schools have to follow. 

However,  guidelines  set by the DfE state that “reports should be specific to the child, be concise and informative and help identify appropriate next steps for development”.

How to make sense of a Key Stage 1 end of year school report? (Year 2)

Year 2 marks the end of Key Stage 1 assessments, and your child will have taken the national curriculum tests (SAT’s). The school reports at this stage will differ from others as they will include both statutory teacher assessment judgments for reading, writing, maths and science, and the results of these tests. 

However, not all schools will include the Key Stage 1 test results and instead consider Year 1 and 2 performance. The teacher will then decide how to analyse a student’s progress best.  

Those schools who choose to add the results will report them through a scaled score, as explained below: 

• A scaled score of 100 – The pupil is working at the expected standard. 

• A scaled score below 100 – The pupil may need more support to work at the expected standard.

• A scaled score above 100 – The pupil is working above the expected standard. 

Please note that at KS1, teachers will try to ensure all pupils score between 100-115, and at KS2, this score extends to 120. 

Additionally, parents should be aware that from 2023 the KS1 SATs are being replaced by the Reception Baseline Assessment. 

How to make sense of a Key Stage 2 end of year report? (Year 6)

By Year 6 (under normal circumstances), students will have completed the KS2 SATs and finished their time at primary school. Preparing to progress to Year 7, they will make the transition to secondary school. Unlike the KS1 SATs, schools send KS2 SATs papers to external examiners for marking. 

These results will help the teacher write the Year 6 end of year school report and include statutory teacher assessment judgments for reading, writing, maths, and science. You should expect to receive a breakdown of these reports with some interpretation by the teacher to help you understand better. It’ll also provide some recommendations for you to help your child make even more progress in the future. 

You may also like to know that these results, as well as a separate teacher assessment,  are sent to the Year 7 liaison officer of your child’s secondary school and are read by all of your child’s Year 7 teachers.

How should you talk to your child about their end of year school reports? 

But how about your little one? They may come skipping out from class across the playground, gladly waving their end of year school report, blissfully unaware of the criticism that may lay within. Many of our students’ parents are unsure how to communicate the report’s content with their child for various reasons. Some are concerned they’re just too young to understand (or care), others don’t want to knock their child’s confidence, and so here are some tips for approaching for the conversation. 

  • Prepare beforehand.

Before having a chat with your child, ensure you fully understand the report. If you don’t understand, that’s ok! Email or call the teacher, perhaps schedule a chat so that you can delve into the report’s content deeper. 

  • Start on a positive.

If there’s positive feedback in the report, absolutely acknowledge it! This is great for your child’s confidence and motivation for learning in the future. 

  • Ask what they think about it. 

Don’t just lecture your child; treat them as an equal participant in the conversation. If there are comments about bad behaviour, shouting or venting frustration (even if they are a bit of a rascal) won’t help the situation in the long term. Try asking how they feel the year went, keep the conversation age-appropriate, and explore why they think the teacher made specific comments. 

For example, if the comments are about behaviour. Ask why Miss so and so may have said that, and continue from there. If it’s about a subject, let’s say maths, ask if they find it difficult. It will help you understand if they feel less confident using numbers or don’t like maths. Both are ok, and you can come up with a plan of action to help solve this. 

  • Next steps.

Children love planning; they feel comfortable when they know what is to come. It is crucial to come up with a plan for how best you can support them. 

  • End on a positive 

Beginning and ending the conversation on a positive note will help your child to feel motivated, whatever their age. 

What can you do to help your child?

There are various ways you can help your child if they are not meeting the expected level of achievement. The best way to deal with any issues that may arise is to find the root cause of the problem. For example, if they’re having trouble with maths, perhaps they got an answer wrong, and their peers laughed. This may not mean they struggle but instead have a confidence issue. 

But if you’re struggling to figure out how to solve problems such as this, you may find the tips below helpful. 

  • Work with your child’s teacher.

Parents underestimate how much a teacher can help in this; they’ll be able to give a plan to work on to help. If you feel that your child’s teacher is not helping, you can always contact the school.  

Communication with the teacher doesn’t end with the report; it’s essential to communicate further where necessary. They can support you with a plan to help your child improve, and remember, if you’re not satisfied with their assistance, in some cases, you can contact the headteacher or subject head. 

  • Try to make learning fun.

Some children respond better to fun activities, such as maths quizzes and games. If it’s the case that your child responds better to this type of mental stimulation, do not shy away from it. For example, try these  free virtual maths escape rooms for Key Stage 2 students.

  • Consider hiring a tutor or making use of online courses for kids.

Online tuition is in no way similar to having a private tutor, whereby your child is expected to turn up at their house and study for an hour alone. Using online courses makes the most of the latest technologies that help students learn in an interactive environment and are becoming popular worldwide, even in the UK.  Check out these videos  to see how young maths tutors are helping primary school students get ahead in mathematics!

The parents’ guide to primary school reports

The parents’ guide to primary school reports

School reports vary hugely in their style, content and level of detail. Some information is statutory, but schools have a lot of freedom in terms of what else they include.

We asked three primary school teachers to explain what you need to know about reading and responding to your child’s end-of-year report.

What’s the point of end-of-year reports?

Your child’s school report is a snapshot of their learning, attainment and attitude over the course of the school year.

‘The overall purpose should be a formal record of what your child has achieved in the year: their academic achievement, and how they are getting on overall,’ says deputy head Roz Maslin. ‘They often talk about the child’s attitude to learning, their social skills , and information about interventions or clubs they’ve been involved in.’

Reports also look ahead to the future. ‘They indicate any areas that require attention, and may set targets for the following year,’ says teacher and tutor Joanna Craigie.

What should they contain?

The Department for Education says that school reports for Key Stages 1 and 2 must cover:

  • General progress
  • A brief overview of achievements, highlighting strengths and developmental needs
  • Information about how to arrange a discussion about the report with your child’s school
  • Your child’s attendance record
  • The results of any National Curriculum assessments, such as SATs

How much detail can you expect?

Beyond the statutory content, the style and depth of the report varies between schools.

‘In my school, we give a measure of how the child is performing against the expected standard for that school year for each subject,’ says Year 6 teacher Claire Shearer. ‘We then give a teacher comment for each of the core subjects, and a personal comment for the child, focusing on things that aren’t subject-based, such as their attitude, behaviour and creativity.’

Some schools provide less detail than this – they may not have comments for individual subjects, for example, and just have an overall comment summarising the child’s school year.

Others go into more depth. For example, it’s becoming increasingly common for children to write their own comments, talking about what they’ve enjoyed learning about, what they feel they’ve succeeded in, and what has challenged them.

In some schools, teachers write a comment for every subject, and often, the head teacher will provide a sentence or two as well (this is more likely in smaller schools). Some reports focus on the topics that children have learned about, as well as subjects.

‘It’s up to schools to decide what to include, and that’s often determined by what sort of format and content the school has previously used, what parents are used to, and what they want,’ explains Roz.

Will you get given grades?

If your child has taken mandatory assessments during the school year, such as Year 2 SATs , Year 6 SATs or the Year 1 phonics screening check , their school report should include their results.

There will often be some other sort of subject-by-subject grading, but don’t expect to be given an ABC or numerical grade. Most schools use some form of the following primary school grading system :

  • Working towards the expected standard
  • Working at the expected standard
  • Working above the expected standard/working at greater depth

Alternatively, you may see something like this:

  • Emerging (working towards the expected standard)
  • Developing (getting close to the expected standard)
  • Secure (working at the expected standard with a secure grasp of the subject)
  • Mastery (working above the expected standard in all areas of the subject)

‘Parents can see how their child is getting on compared to the “expected” standard for the year group,’ Claire adds.

Can teachers copy and paste comments between children?

Although every child should have an individually written report, sometimes parents feel that comments have been copied and pasted from one report to another.

It can feel frustrating if your child’s report doesn’t appear to be sufficiently personalised, but it’s important to remember that report-writing is a mammoth task for primary school teachers, and as a result, they may take small shortcuts to make it more manageable.

‘If a teacher has 30 children in their class and each report takes a minimum 20 minutes to write, that’s 10 hours of writing,’ explains Roz.

‘Each report then has to be checked by a member of the senior leadership team, and after that, the teacher has to make any requested changes. I would much rather teachers focus on planning and teaching, rather than spending hours writing lengthy reports that may not actually be that meaningful or useful to parents.’

Reports shouldn’t, however, be straight copy and paste jobs. ‘Although similar areas will be commented on across reports, teachers do take time to personalise their comments for each child,’ says Claire.

‘Some schools use report-writing programmes with generic statements,’ adds former teacher and tutor Joanna Craigie. These programmes may lead to reports sounding formulaic, but are designed to allow teachers to write reports more efficiently so they can concentrate on their core teaching duties.

Why are there sometimes mistakes in school reports?

As well as being under huge pressure, teachers are also human, so try not to focus on the occasional typo or grammatical mistake.

Some schools acknowledge the huge time pressure and allow teachers to use staff meeting time or an INSET day to write reports, but usually they have to write them in their own time, typically in the evenings when they’re tired from a day of teaching, marking and lesson prep.

‘Whilst your teacher has no doubt proofread every report, after writing and checking 30 reports, you do become a little word blind!’ says Claire.

Joanna agrees. ‘My headteacher would check every child’s report, and still mistakes would get through,’ she says.

Should you share the report with your child?

Many schools address end-of-year reports to the child themselves: you may read comments such as, ‘Katie, you have worked really hard on using commas and full stops this year. Next year, I would like you to try to use a wider range of punctuation.’

This is an important part of making children feel empowered in their own learning, and actively engaged in their next steps and targets.

‘I think it’s brilliant to share reports with your child, and I often write some of the comments addressed directly to them,’ says Claire. ‘Teachers will always try to be positive in reports, so it’s a good confidence boost for children to hear what they have done well in, and if your child is struggling with something, the report will help them identify what they can do to improve.’

Roz advises parents to share reports with their children as long as they’re happy with the content, and are able to discuss it in an age-appropriate way. ‘In this high-pressure age, this can be challenging, as children can get upset if they feel they are not doing as well as others, but I fundamentally believe they should be fully involved in their learning and achievement,’ she says.

What if you read something unexpected?

School reports shouldn’t contain any major surprises. Any significant issues should have been raised in your parent-teacher consultation , or by the teacher speaking to you directly, so it’s unlikely that they’ll drop a bombshell about your child’s attainment or behaviour.

‘We always try to make sure any issues are discussed face to face with parents and not heard for the first time in a report,’ agrees Claire. ‘We hand out reports with a couple of weeks left in the term and encourage parents to meet with us if there is anything they want to discuss.’

It’s mandatory for your child’s report to specify how you should contact the school if you want to raise any concerns about the content of their report, so you should go through this channel first.

‘Speak to the school straight away, without delay,’ Roz advises. ‘Schools are busy places and miscommunication can happen. If you don’t raise the issue, your child’s teacher won’t know there’s a problem.’

Should you give the teacher feedback?

Many schools like parents and carers to acknowledge receipt of their report, often just by signing a slip. Some also invite feedback, whether by filling in a form or emailing the school.

There are two types of feedback – feedback on what the teacher has written about your child, and feedback on the style and format of the report itself.

‘I think we should be trying to make reports as useful as possible for parents, and as easy as possible for schools to produce, so teachers can focus on children’s learning, not on paperwork,’ says Roz.

‘So for me, the feedback should be about how useful the reports are, how reader-friendly they are (as teachers, we can end up writing all sorts of education-speak that means nothing to many parents), what else parents would like us to include, and anything they wouldn’t mind leaving out.’

Claire affirms Roz’s views. ‘We always encourage feedback from parents in all areas of school life,’ she explains. ‘It’s helpful to receive feedback on how well explained and easy to understand the reports are, and positive recognition and feedback that the report has been helpful to you.’

Any gratitude and encouragement you can offer your child’s teacher will also be received gladly – at the end of a long and exhausting school year, a simple ‘thank you’ goes a very long way.
