Formative Assessment
Effective formative assessment identifies which pupils are falling behind.
Our assessments are designed to test component knowledge; they link directly to the intended curriculum.
Our teachers routinely use assessment to:
- Decide whether to adjust the level of challenge of activities
- Reteach specific concepts of topics
- Adjust curriculum content in the medium or long term
- Provide pupils with feedback through which they can address their own areas for improvement
- Pinpoint gaps in learning and adapt planning to meet individual needs.
- Decide which pupils may need additional targeted support.
