Assessment

The assessment of our pupils has several important purposes:

• Provide information for Teachers and Leaders which constantly improves the pitch and personalisation of learning so that children make enhanced progress and the standard of attainment rises;
• Identify a child’s level of attainment in relation to age-related expectations; and in relation to prior-attainment;
• Provide information for target setting for individuals, groups and cohorts;
• Engage children in their learning journey by providing them with information on their strengths and areas for development;
• Identify the need for intervention and alternative approaches to learning;
• Inform parents, governors and outside agencies of children’s progress and attainment;
• Demonstrate the standards achieved by the school on which we are held to account;
• Inform our school self-evaluation and school improvement planning;

In practice, this consists of:

• Termly assessments across curriculum subjects with reporting, tracking and evaluating the results of these.
• Taking part in Statutory National assessments – EYFS profile at the end of Reception; Phonic screening in the June of Year 1; SATs during the May of Year 2 and Year 6.
• Termly parent consultations and reporting.

The above is in addition to the daily informal formative assessment and feedback practices of the school.
