Rationale

At St. Patrick's, we believe that assessment is a vital part of every student's learning journey and it is the key to enabling effective partnership working between staff, pupils and parents to ensure that every student makes significant progress throughout each academic year.

We are committed to improving educational outcomes for every student across all ability ranges and key stages and feel this can best be achieved through:

• high quality teaching and learning which is tailored to the individual learner;
• positive partnership working (using Assessment for Learning) with students to help them achieve their learning goals;
• regular assessment to map progression and identify learner needs;
• consistent reporting and communication with parents to support each individual learner and maximise his/her potential for success.
