Assessment, Marking and Feedback
Assessment can be seen as the bridge between teaching and learning. Dylan Wiliam describes this well:
“It is only through assessment that we can find out whether what has happened in the classroom has produced the learning we intended.”
Our approach to assessment has two layers:
- Layer 1: Formative – on-going, ungraded and focused on smaller chunks of the curriculum
- Layer 2: Summative – at set points in the year. Knowledge included will build cumulatively
through the year
The marking of SPAG is an integral part of the assessment process. Not only is accuracy a vital aspect of any written text, but it is also the case that examination performance can be improved by students writing with accurate spelling.
