At Trekenner, assessment is an integral part of our teaching and learning approach, designed to support every child in achieving their full potential. We believe that assessment is primarily a tool to inform teacher practice, ensuring that learning experiences are tailored to meet the needs of all pupils in line with our inclusive ethos.
Assessment in our school takes various forms, including:
· Formative Assessment – Ongoing assessment within lessons that provides real-time feedback, guiding teaching and learning adjustments.
· Summative Assessment – Formal assessments that evaluate pupil achievement at key points, supporting progress tracking and target setting.
· Diagnostic Assessment – Identifying individual learning needs to provide appropriate interventions and support.
· Peer and Self-Assessment – Encouraging reflection and ownership of learning, fostering independence and resilience in pupils.
Through careful and thoughtful assessment, our teachers gain insights into pupil progress, strengths, and areas for development. This enables adaptive teaching strategies that ensure every child receives the guidance and support they need. We are committed to using assessment positively—never as a measure to label children, but as a means of empowering educators and learners alike.
Our approach to assessment reflects our deep commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that all children, regardless of background or ability, have access to the best possible education. We uphold a culture where assessment informs teaching, encourages continuous improvement, and ultimately leads to outstanding outcomes for every child in our care.
