Assessment

Verbal feedback is given to the pupils during the lesson, where possible. Marking follows the Marking and Feedback Policy.
In the majority of sessions, pupils should be given time to correct any errors using their purple polishing pens.
Pupils can work in pairs to discuss check answers and reflect together on why they may be different.

The assessment of children’s learning in mathematics is on-going and informs planning and teaching daily.
Teachers regularly record assessments on the school data system Scholar Pack (formative).
At the end of each term assessment judgements for each child in Years 1 to Year 6 are entered onto Scholar Pack (summative).
In EYFS judgements are made against the Early Learning Goals and evidence is recorded both in their learning journey files and on Tapestry. The teacher gains an in-depth knowledge of each child through observation.
Standardised tests (PUMA) are carried out termly to inform and support teachers with the next steps for pupils.
End of unit reviews/White Rose end of unit block assessments can be used to enable teachers to assess children alongside their ongoing formative assessment.
