Parents Evening Autumn, Spring and Summer Terms

Parents Evening Autumn, Spring and Summer Terms

Class 1 Assessment programme 2014/2015

We assess the children regularly to inform teaching, provide feedback to pupils and to communicate pupils’ progress to parents.

Summative testing is required to give indication of progress but formative assessment and testing (Assessment for learning) is on-going at all times throughout each unit to inform next steps and where appropriate this is annotated on planning in red. Where assessment leads to lesson planning being amended to meet the needs of the pupils, this is highlighted in blue.
