How will my child’s learning be assessed?

In playrooms and classrooms staff will be using improved ways of assessing children’s learning taking account of national and local advice and guidance. Assessment of a learner’s progress and achievement is based on a teacher’s assessment of their knowledge, understanding and skills in curriculum areas. Teachers assess learning using a variety of approaches and a wide range of evidence.

Your child’s progress will be reported to you so that you know how well your child is doing. Parents are encouraged to contact the school if they have concerns about any aspect of their child’s education and an informal meeting can be arranged. In addition the following arrangements normally occur: (may be subject to change)

September – Meet the Teacher

October – Interim Report

October – Parents’ Meetings

March – Parents’ Meetings

June – Final Progress Report
