This is an integral and essential part of our teaching and learning and is carried out on a continuous and daily basis. Good assessment informs the teachers of each child’s strengths and weaknesses the next steps in the learning process.

In addition to this, statutory, formal assessments are completed at the end of each phase of learning, namely Foundation Stage II, Year 2 and Year 6. Optional assessments may be used in other year groups throughout the year, at the discretion of the Headteacher and teaching staff. Parents are informed of children’s progress and attainment at autumn and spring term consultation events and in the end of year written report in the summer term.
