Measuring Progress and Promoting Growth
Our assessment practices are divided into two parts – Formative and Summative Assessment. We regularly document and track students’ progress, providing valuable feedback to both students and parents. This feedback helps students understand their strengths and areas for improvement, empowering them to advance and grow.
Formative Assessment includes checking students’ progress in knowledge, skills, understanding, and the application of learned concepts. It takes place as a day-to-day practice in the course of ongoing teaching and learning.
- Teachers and Learning Assistants monitor pupils’ performance on a continuous basis. This information provides appropriate support or extension to evaluate teaching and plan future lessons.
- Pupils measure their knowledge and understanding against learning objectives and identify areas where they need to improve.
- Enables pupils to take an active role in the learning process and the setting of short-term targets.
- Parents gain a broad picture of where their child’s strengths and weaknesses lie, and what they need to do for improvement.
Summative assessment occurs after the completion of a learning period to evaluate overall achievements and identify learning gaps. It provides quantitative insights into pupil progress, informs interventions, and offers feedback for improvement to teachers, learning assistants, students, and parents.
- This is used to identify learning gaps and misconceptions that need to be rectified for future learning.
- This takes place after the completion of learning, focuses on pupils’ overall achievements and is used to provide quantitative information on the progress of pupils.
- School leaders monitor the performance of pupil cohorts, identify where interventions may be required, and work with teachers to ensure that pupils are supported to achieve sufficient progress.
- Teachers and Learning Assistants evaluate learning at the end of a unit or period and also analyse the impact of their own teaching.
- Pupils evaluate how well they have learnt and understood a topic or course of work taught over a period of time. It is used to provide feedback on how they can improve.
- Parents are able to stay informed about the achievement, progress and wider outcomes of their child across a period.
