Although the words assessment and evaluation are often used interchangeably, they each have a specific meaning and a different purpose. Whilst evaluation is concerned with the whole of the education process, assessment attempts to measure children's performance and achievement.
The key features of our assessment policy are as follows:
- assessment is continuous and is based on a variety of assessment techniques rather than one-off end of semester assessments
- assessment focuses on the child's demonstration of learning
- teachers collect student work samples throughout the year to support their reporting
- the information gathered is accessible to parents throughout the year by arrangement with the teacher.
