Assessment plays a key role in helping schools to

improve outcomes.

Knowing how each pupil is performing allows

teachers to help individuals improve.

This in turn promotes improvement at class level,

then at school level, allowing us to set meaningful

and challenging targets in our School

Development Plan.

Questions asked at PoW

If my child doesnt reach the right level, do

they repeat the year?

My child is not working at the same level as

others in the class. Is he behind?

My child is in class 1C or 4A. Is that the

level they are working at?


14/24

Children making progress

Progress is only officially measured by the

DfE from the end of KS1 onwards, as there is

no comparable measure for pupils at the end

of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

...the DfE does have a floor target for the

end of KS1, and this is a secure level 2

During KS2, pupils are expected to make at

least two levels' progress, with the majority

achieving at least a level 4

What can parents do?

Share your ideas about the importance of educationwith your child

Be careful not to pass on negative attitudes about

school that may be a part of your own past experience.

A positive attitude about school is perhaps the most

important gift you can give your child.

Help your child set education goals, both short term

and long term.

Talk to your child about what they are learning at

school.

Help your child get organised to do homework.

Communicate with your childs teacher about progress,

achievements and concerns


23/24

Final Point

Assessment is not meant to be used as a

measure of your childs ability at school

but as a means to improve their ability tolearn; their knowledge and their skills.

Much of what is learnt is never fully

assessed but used every bit as much.
