Assessment Strategy
Assessment at South Bank
Our assessment procedure
Our assessment of the children’s attainment within mainstream school is based on our own system which describes what each child should achieve in each year group.
Every mainstream child is taught within the correct ‘phase’ for their age and any gaps from their previous learning are filled with targeted initiatives. Children are taught to understand the content, and make links within their own understanding. Children who complete their phase, are taught to widen their understanding and ‘master’ the skills contained.
Our assessment practice was introduced in September 2015 and has been amended where necessary, to suit the needs of our specific children.
Below is our continued plan for ensuring our assessments continue to be effective and purposeful.
