Assessment and Recording

Assessing

• Formal assessments will take place in all subjects at least once per half term. These will be used to track progress over the academic year.
• Each assessment will be colour coded so that they are easy to identify.
• In addition each year group will have a formal exam week.
• All exams where possible will be executed in the Sports Hall under strict supervision.
• Band and set changes will take place following these exams

Recording

• All exercise books will have a record of these colour coded results on the front cover
• All assessment results will be recorded in Go4Schools

Each data snapshot will record the following:

• Attitude to Classwork
• Attitude to Homework
• On-going Working at Grade
• Latest Assessment/Exam Grade
• End of Year Forecast Grade
