Parent information
At Papamoa Primary School, your child will receive a report twice a year. When reporting, it is our aim to clearly show your child's progress and achievement in Reading, Writing and Maths in relation to the National Standards. We also feel it is important to let you know of your child's participation and achievement in other areas such as Technology, Science/Social Science, Health, Physical Education and The Arts.
The report includes:
- your child’s progress towards established goals and the support provided if relevant
- your child’s progress and achievement in relation to the National Standards
- your child's next learning steps
Please read the following:
- Understanding Overall Teacher Judgements
- Undertanding Parent/Teacher/Pupil Conferences
- Understanding Report Formats
We hope the information in your child's report, and the guides to “Supporting Your Child’s Learning” available on the links below will help you to:
- understand how your child is doing at school and how their learning needs are being met
- be confident that learning difficulties are being addressed
- track your child's progress over time
- understand what your child's next learning step is in Reading, Writing and Maths
