Assessment

Aims

Assessment complements and assists teaching and learning; it allows teachers to effectively plan, evaluate current practice and understand children’s progress and achievement.

This part of the policy aims to:

• Provide clear guidelines on our approach to formative and summative assessment, including the role of feedback and marking.
• Establish a consistent and coherent approach to recording summative assessment outcomes, feedback, marking and reporting to parents.
• Clearly set out how and when assessment practice will be monitored and evaluated.
