Summative Assessment – Testing: Summative Assessment – Testing:
Purposes of statutory assessmentThe main purpose of statutory assessment is to ascertain what children have achieved in relation to the attainment targets outlined in the national curriculum.

“People talk about assessment as though it’s separate to teaching. For me assessment is what you have to do to be able to teach effectively.”
A teacher’s view of assessment…
![Page 7: The Assessment Maze Life After Levels November 2015 An information session for parents to explain the changes to assessment](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d1f1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pupil’s view on assessment, marking and feedback…
“I like to check my next steps and find out what I have done well. I like it when there is an R task. I want to know how to get better at what I am doing.“
![Page 8: The Assessment Maze Life After Levels November 2015 An information session for parents to explain the changes to assessment](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d1f1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The government’s view…
“Levels have been a distracting, over-generalised label, giving misleading signals…Crucially, levels have failed to give parents clarity over how their children are performing.”
![Page 9: The Assessment Maze Life After Levels November 2015 An information session for parents to explain the changes to assessment](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d1f1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Our view…
Assessment should support good teaching and learning. It should help teachers, parents
and students keep track of progress and drive
improvement.
Assessment is for learning!
![Page 10: The Assessment Maze Life After Levels November 2015 An information session for parents to explain the changes to assessment](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d1f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Good assessment is an intrinsic tool of the
teaching and learning cycle.
Assessment can be an evaluation of what children have learnt at a given point in time
Assessment can also be an on-going process which is integral to teaching and learning

Assessment going forwards needs toAssessment going forwards needs to:
• Find out what children know, can do and understand (OFSTED)
• Explain with clarity to both the children and parents what their child does well and their next steps.
• Support target setting to ensure, where possible, pupils meet the expected standard at the end of each Key Stage.
• Pinpoint aspects of the curriculum in which pupils are falling behind and recognise exceptional performance.
• Support effective planning, pitch and progress for all pupils.
