Assessments/Monitoring Progress
Summative assessment:
The summative assessment that takes place at Chard School includes:
- NFER Cognitive ability tests (October: Year 3+)
- Reading and Spelling age assessments (September: Year 1 +)
- GL Assessment progress tests in Maths, English and Science (June: Year R +)
- GL Baseline assessment (September: Year R)
These results, alongside teacher assessment, are used to inform our decisions when assessing children during and at the end of each year. The results of these summative assessments are tracked and monitored at three separate points during the year, where decisions are made about each child’s provision.
