Assessment
Assessment builds the foundations of everything that we do here at Bridgewater Park Primary School. We truly believe in giving each and every child the best possible education to support them to meet age related expectations and to make good progress. We use various assessment systems, both formative and summative to monitor pupil progress and ensure that we are closing gaps through specific, quality teaching.
When pupils arrive, in reception, we complete a reception baseline. We then use NFER assessments, during 3 data points from year 1 right through to year 6. This summative assessment technique gives us a good understanding of where pupils strengths lie and further areas to refine, we then adapt our planning to meet the areas that need refining.
We also use Tracking Pupil Progress Grids for Reading, Writing and Maths, this forms part of our ongoing formative assessments and allows us to track which pupils have mastered certain skills and which pupils need further intervention support, whether that be through quality teaching strategies or bolt on intervention support.
