ASSESSMENT

Your child’s progress will be continually assessed throughout the academic year. This will be through informal, day-to-day observations and more formal summative assessments at the end of units, at the end of each term and at the end of the academic year.

In the Autumn Term, pupils will participate in online GL Assessments that adapt to the performance of the children. They will also sit some summative online assessments in English, Maths and Science in the Summer Term. These will help form a judgement about your child’s progress from the previous year.

Reports are sent home at the end of the Autumn and Spring Term, along with personalised targets for each child. At the end of the academic year, a full report is sent home with attainment and attitude to learning grades, and targets.

There are regular evenings set aside for parents to discuss pupils’ progress with members of staff.

Individual learning needs are supported by the Learning Support Department, where staff liaise closely with class teachers and parents to ensure that all children are given the opportunity to succeed.
