Assessing Children's Learning
We want our pupils to be inspired by the rich, diverse curriculum that we deliver at Seaton Sluice First School. Learning should always been meaningful, relevant and progressive, allowing children to develop skills and knowledge which are built upon year on year. As a result, they should be able to recall their learning, make links and naturally be able to apply their learning to different contexts.
We want our pupils to confidently talk about their learning, in a clear, coherent way. Lessons should ignite a flame inside of them that stimulates curiosity and wonder. Learning takes place inside and outside; maximising opportunities to use senses and be immersed in a range of environments is critical for us all to learn in a variety of ways. Conversations with pupils and examples of work should reflect the quality of learning across the curriculum. We also enjoy representing their learning through videos and photos.
Below, you can read through our latest Assessment Policy. This explains how we assess pupil learning, including ongoing systems through observations, verbal feedback and also summative statements. We also have our own bespoke 'Growing Knowledge Trees'- an example is also included below showing how we build upon knowledge, beginning with a firm foundation then progressively as we move through the school.
