ASSESSMENT
Assessment in primary school is about building a picture over time of a child’s learning progress across the curriculum. The teacher uses different ways to gather evidence about how and what the child learns on an ongoing basis. This information is used to celebrate the child’s current learning, and to help make decisions about next steps for future learning. Children are actively involved in their own assessment.

Comprehension Strategies
Comprehension strategies can be defined as the ‘mental processes’ that good readers use to understand text. Comprehension strategies need to be explicitly taught and all classes in our school focus on a specific comprehension strategy every 2 months.
