Assessment is an integral part of the learning process. The Department of Education sets certain requirements for assessing children and reporting to parents (statutory arrangements).
Ongoing Assessment and the Annual Report
In Recarson PS, teachers monitor your child's progress carefully through a range of assessment techniques and strategies throughout the school year. As parents, you will be kept fully informed of your child's progress.
The school will assess and report annually on your child's progress in:
Areas of Learning;
Cross-Curricular Skills; and
Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities.
End of Key Stage Assessment
If your child is in P4 or P7 (i.e. at the end of a Key Stage), you will receive the results of their ‘End of Key Stage Assessment' in Commuication, Using Mathematics and Using ICT at the end of that school year. The overall results for the school inform parents of the school's standards as presented within the ‘Annual Report of the Board of Governors'.
The Department of Education sets basic requirements for assessing your child and reporting to you. These are called 'Statutory Arrangements' and they include the Annual Report which you will receive by 30th June, whichever year group your child is in.
The Annual Report will give you information about your child’s progress during the year and identify any areas for improvement.
