Assessment Policy

Rationale

Assessment lies at the heart of the process of promoting pupils’ learning. It provides a framework within which educational objectives may be set and pupils’ progress measured, expressed and monitored.

Assessment should be undertaken in partnership with the pupils and should be incorporated systematically into teaching strategies in order to diagnose any problems and chart progress. It is an integral part of all of our teaching and learning activities. Assessment is the means by which pupils and teachers can generate targets and so direct the learning path.
