At St Bartholomew’s CE Primary School, we are continually developing ways of assessing our children to secure progress. We track the progress of all pupils and, each half-term, a Pupil Progress Meeting is held where, if progress is not evident, provision is adapted to ensure acceleration is achieved.
Each curriculum area has assessment procedures incorporated into its programmes of study. Teachers take a ‘formative’ approach to assessment. This means that learning is continually reviewed and assessed during lessons, enabling teachers to adapt their teaching to meet the children’s needs. These assessments are closely tracked by the Senior Leadership Team to ensure progress remains on track.
All children in Year 2 and Year 6 take national tests in English and maths. The results attained by children, both in statutory tests and teacher assessments, are reported to parents at the end of the summer term, along with other relevant information concerning overall performance.
Parent-teacher meetings are held at various times throughout the year to ensure parents are fully informed of their child’s progress.
