Assessment

Our approach to Assessment

Our approach to Assessment in the New Curriculum (2014) KS1- KS2

In April 2014 the Department for Education released 'Assessment Principles', a document outlining the core values all effective assessment systems should implement as part of the changes introduced with the 2014 National Curriculum. As the ‘Government will not impose a single system for ongoing assessment’, it is up to schools to implement a system that can: ‘Give reliable information to parents about how their child, and their child’s school, is performing, help drive improvement for pupils and teachers and make sure the school is keeping up with external best practice and innovation.’

We have been developing an effective assessment system that will meet the needs of all children and support the school in embedding the DfE ‘Assessment Principles’ referenced above.
