Assessment is regularly made by the class teacher and is an ongoing part of the teaching and learning process. Children are actively involved in their own assessment from Primary 1 onwards. Teachers assess a broad range of planned learning across the full range of contexts and settings in which the curriculum is experienced. These contexts include the ethos and life of the school as a community, curriculum areas and subjects, interdisciplinary learning and opportunities for personal achievement. They cover learning both within and outwith education establishments and classrooms.

Assessment focuses on the application of standards and expectations of each learner’s progress and achievement in knowledge and understanding, skills, and attributes and capabilities. Children progress at different rates: some will require additional support and may take longer for their learning to be secure at a particular level for some or all areas of the curriculum; others who achieve secure learning sooner will require more challenging tasks and a greater emphasis on independent learning to help reinforce learning and allow them to maximise their progress and achievement. Each child in Logans Primary has their own learning journal which records their progress.

There are two reporting evenings and a final written report to parents / guardians. Open afternoons are also available to parents where they have the opportunity to join their children in their learning environment. However, parents may make an appointment at any time to speak to a member of the teaching staff if they are anxious about any aspect of their child’s education, or for any reason they may be concerned about.
