Impact 

During each English lesson, assessment for learning is used and pupils are assessed and planning is adapted to suit the needs of groups, which are always flexible. Through rigorous assessment, the class teacher decides whether further English intervention is required or activities to enhance further development such as: handwriting interventions, phonics, focused reading interventions, focused writing interventions, speech and language, grammar interventions and fine/gross motor skills interventions. 
Summative assessments are entered into Target Tracker termly. Target Tracker is used to analyse gaps in children’s knowledge and gain an overview of specific groups of children across school. Progress across each year group is closely monitored by the English Leader and Senior Leadership Team. Monitoring will include: regular book looks, lesson observations, gathering evidence of good practice, pupil voice interviews, analysing data on Target Tracker and learning walks. The findings of monitoring will be used to inform next steps for the children and the implementation of English across the school as a whole.
At Roehampton Church School, we aim that by the end of KS2 all of our children have made considerable progress from their starting points in EYFS.  By the time our children are in upper KS2, all genres of writing are familiar to them and teaching can focus on creativity, writer’s craft, sustained writing and manipulation of grammar and punctuation skills.
Our children also become more confident, fluent readers, and they realise the importance of reading for pleasure along with reading for information and knowledge. By the end of KS2, we aspire that children are fluent, confident and able readers, who can access a range of texts for pleasure and enjoyment, as well as use their reading skills to unlock learning and all areas of the curriculum. We firmly believe that reading is the key to all learning and so the impact of our reading curriculum goes beyond the results of the statutory assessments.
As all aspects of English are an integral part of the curriculum, cross curricular writing standards and skills taught in English lessons are transferred into other subjects; this shows consolidation of skills, progression and a deeper understanding of how and when to use specific grammar, punctuation and grammar objectives.
