At St Peter’s CE Primary School we believe that effective assessment provides information to improve teaching and learning.

The aim of assessment in our school is to:

• enable our children to show what they know, understand and can do in their work; · help our children recognise the standards to aim for, and to understand what they need to do next to improve their work;
• provide our children with honest feedback in a sensitive way;
• allow teachers to plan work that accurately reflects the needs of each child;
• provide regular, understandable information for parents that enables them to support their child's learning;
• provide the Head Teacher, School Leadership and Governors with clear and understandable information that allows them to make judgements about the effectiveness of the school.
