ASSESSMENT INFORMATION West Wimbledon Primary School

Assessment is integral to high quality teaching and learning. It helps us to ensure that our

teaching is appropriate and that learners are making expected progress. Assessment is inclusive of all abilities. We celebrate all

achievements across a broad and balanced curriculum

PRINCIPLES FOR ASSESSMENT Assessment is at the heart of teaching

and learning Assessment is fair Assessment is honest Assessment is ambitious Assessment is appropriate Assessment is consistent Assessment outcomes provide

meaningful and understandable information

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT AT WWPSFormative assessment is a powerful way of raising pupils’ achievement. It is based on the principle that pupils will improve most if they understand the aim of their learning, where they are in relation to this aim and how they can achieve the aim.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT AT WWPS Assess at all stages of every lesson Effective and thorough questioning Differentiation to meet the needs of all the

children Clear learning objectives Individual targets in English and Maths Self-assessment Success criteria Responding to marking Regular reading opportunities

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

As part of the national curriculum review, levels have been abolished. This is in part in response to concerns about the validity and reliability of levels and sub-levels. These concerns had an impact on pupils’ learning, but also on the relationships between primary and secondary schools and the trust in their assessments. Levels have also been recognised as the driver of undue pace through the curriculum, which has led to gaps in pupils’ knowledge.Standards and Testing Agency July 2015

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT AT WWPS

Enrich pupils’ learning by developing a greater breadth of skills and knowledge, so that they are confident to apply their skills to different areas of the curriculum, rather than focus on moving to the ‘next level’.
