Assessment

Assessment is the process of obtaining, analysing and interpreting evidence for use by both pupils and teachers to enable the review, planning and improvement of learning. It is fully integrated with the delivery of the curriculum and is an essential component of effective classroom practice.

  • Assessment lets our students see what progress they are making and provides their teachers and the academy with accurate and timely information which assists us to plan how to help students make further progress and reward them for the improvements they make.
  • Assessment enables us to report information to parents / carers, as well as information to help older children make choices about the examination courses they will follow and the qualifications and future careers they will seek.
  • Assessments and reports are accessed via www.Go4Schools.com our live online data and reporting platform. Please click here to for help and support logging in.

Types of assessment:

Formative assessment

Formative assessment is assessment for learning (AFL). It is ongoing and provides evidence of and for progression in learning. It supports learning through identifying difficulties, providing feedback and diagnosing future learning priorities. Examples include: Classwork, Homework, Questioning, Oral Discussion, Short Recall, Test/quizzing, Practical Project and Research

Summative assessment

Summative assessment is Assessment of Learning. It is used mainly to measure knowledge & skill and identify a standard of pupil attainment. It is carried out at the end of a period of learning. Examples include external examinations, internal school examinations (PPEs and in-class formal assessments) and end of topic/unit tests.

strategies to achieve.
