Assessment

Consider our curriculum's purpose and aims for these subjects, and assess whether pupils are meeting them
Assess progress against the key skills set out in the programme of study for each subject
Evaluate children’s understanding of vocabulary and their ability to remember key facts and information (‘sticky knowledge’)
Use Assessment for Learning (AFL) to support teacher judgments during lessons and at the end of topics using a range of retrieval techniques
Look at pupils’ attitudes and the process that they follow, as well as at the end product that they create
Assess children’s higher order thinking skills through their use of Bloom’s Taxonomy success criteria
Classify pupils’ progress in all foundation subjects as ‘working towards’, ‘secure’ or ‘working above’ the expected standard for their year group
