Assessment in primary school is about building a picture over time of a child's learning progress across the curriculum. The teacher uses different ways to gather evidence about how and what the child learns on an ongoing basis. This information is used to celebrate the child's current learning and to help make decisions about the next steps for future learning. Our school uses a range of assessment supports as part of daily classroom practice. Information from assessments is used by teachers to report about a child's learning progression to parents at formal and informal parent-teacher meetings and in the annual school report card.
Standardised tests are administered in 2nd, 4th and 6th class and scores are shared with parents in the child's report card.
