How We Assess

At Bligh Primary School, we use a range of assessment procedures to ensure the progress of each individual is tracked. This is achieved through summative (tests) and formative (ongoing assessment) assessments as an ongoing tool for teachers to inform their future planning.

Summative Assessment Procedures

  • Two year old check
  • EYFS use the baseline and end of year EYFS profile
  • Years 2 and 6 - End of Year Age Related Assessments
  • Year 1 Phonics Assessment
  • Year 2 Phonics Assessment
  • Year 4 Multiplication Check

Formative Assessment Procedures

  • Reading through Accelerated Reader
  • Maths Learning assessments
  • Writing through teacher assessment and various moderation opportunities
  • Marking including live feedback
  • Assessment for Learning techniques e.g. exit quizzes, white board work, post-it notes, jam boards, nearpod lessons, etc
  • Retrieval boxes and questions
  • Ongoing, reflective planning for teachers assessment
  • End of Year age related assessment for Gap Analysis purposes
  • EYFS use ongoing observations and informal assessment to inform planning
  • Gap analysis through IXL in English and maths

At the end of each long-term (three times), children take an age related assessment. These assessments are used for gap analysis purposes. This information is then used to enhance the learning through prioritisation and adaptive learning/resources. 

Using all of these assessment procedures means learning is tailored to the individual needs of each child.
