Assessment
Tests
Each topic has two tests, one at the end of each half term.
The tests will be done in class under normal classroom conditions.
The tests yield a whole and partial grade (3a, 5b, etc)
Built in assessed tests
Each topic has two lessons in which an assessed task is built into the scheme of work. This can be along the lines of an assessed poster, practical task, or any other suitable piece of work.
Teacher Assessments
In addition, each teacher will perform an assessment of student progress twice per topic. This can be any piece of levelled work the teacher chooses, either in class or done as a homework.
Literacy and Numeracy
