Assessment & Progress

At Coley Primary School, we closely monitor every child's attainment and progress using both formative and summative assessments.

 

Formative assessments are carried out in every lesson, where teachers regularly check for understanding and adjust teaching accordingly.

 

Summative assessments, on the other hand, capture learning over a series of lessons, providing a broader view of progress over time.

 

This information is recorded in a Profile, which is shared with parents. The Profile includes teacher assessments for Reading, Writing, and Maths at the end of Term 2, as well as your child’s Attendance and Punctuality for the last two terms. It also includes NFER Standardised Test scores (for Year 2-6), Reading Age from the Accelerated Reader assessment, and an overall profile.

 

We aim for children to be 'Tickled Pink,' indicating a strong performance. Some areas may be 'Green for Growth,' signaling a need for improvement, or 'Not Met,' where additional support is required. Rest assured, your child’s teacher is aware of these areas and is committed to supporting their progress.
