For children and young people to have the best chance of reaching their potential, parents, carers, teachers and the learners themselves, need to understand how they are progressing, and what further support they require. Alongside a wide range of other assessment activity, the assessments help to inform that understanding by providing teachers with objective and nationally consistent information on learner’s progress in aspects of numeracy and literacy. Teachers can then discuss a learner’s progress with them and their parents/carers, planning next steps accordingly, and ensuring parents/carers understand how best to support their child’s learning at home.
Curriculum for Excellence assessment in Scotland is a continuous, varied process focused on supporting learning, developing the four capacities (learners, individuals, contributors and citizens), and providing evidence of progress through classroom work, observations and formal tasks using benchmarks and teacher judgements.
At Law Primary School we assess your child’s learning and progress regularly and use this to support their next steps in learning. We report this to you through Parent Consultations twice a year and through the final yearly report.
If you would like to discuss your child’s learning at any point, please ask the class teacher.
