Introduction  \nIn lessons at Royal Alexandra & Albert School, assessment is completed across a range of activities through which we come to know about the abilities and achievements of our students, and the extent of their knowledge, skills and understanding. Assessment and feedback is used to advise students, teachers (and others) of their progress, their targetsand how to close any achievement gaps that may exist.  \n2. Rationale  \nAssessment reflects the formal and informal judgements made by teachers and students about standards of work, and is measured, where appropriate, against nationally agreed criteria. Formative, diagnostic assessment is used throughout the year to inform teaching and learning and identify any areas for improvement. This includes low stakes testing where a simple test is employed to ascertain the extent to which knowledge is being retained and to establish an understanding of gaps in knowledge and/or skills at individual and whole class level. Summative assessment is used to evaluate learning and progress by awarding a grade of attainment to a stu Jo dent. We believe that this policy will enable us to assess student progress in a coherent and consistent way and facilitate higher achievement for students across all levels of ability.  \nWork undertaken by students deserves feedback (written or verbal) in order to enable them to know and understand the progress they are making and the next steps needed to inform them how they can continue to improve. It will also inform subject staff as to where there are gaps in students’ knowledge and understanding.  \n3. Principles  \n● The focus of written and verbal feedback is to give students a clear understanding of how well they have gained knowledge, concepts and skills and then explain what needs to be done to extend their learning.  \n● Students' assessment of their own and their peers’ progress and attainment is a central function in the learning process.  \n● Time will be built into lessons for students to reflect on and respond to teacher marking and feedback (”DIRT”) .  \n● Marking will help students to progress in their learning and will be meaningful, manageable and motivating.  \n● A variety of marking strategies will be used to ensure teacher workload is minimised.  \n4. Record‐Keeping/Student Progress Data  \nAll staff have access to Go4Schools mark sheets for their allocated classes. These mark sheets will include information regarding prior attainment, SEND, PP and other student groups. All staff are responsible for ensuring that the mark sheet entries are kept up to date to allow for data snapshots throughout the year.  \n5. Regular Assessment  \n● All teachers will be responsible for the continuous assessment of students and for accurate and timely completion of mark sheets  \n● Formal assessments will be signposted in curriculum overviews, learning journeys as well as the annually updated assessment plan for each key stage.  \n● Formal assessments will cover all skills and knowledge appropriate to the subject/unit of work  \n● The school will provide opportunities for formal summative assessments at least once a year for all year groups, with Year 6, 11 and 13 having two formal PPE (pre-public examinations) weeks.  \n● Additionally, students in Key Stages 2 & 3 will complete GL Assessments in English, Maths and Science at regular intervals throughout the key stages.  \n6. Self and Peer Assessment  \nAll teachers will provide regular opportunities for self‐assessment and/or peer assessment.  \n7. Strategies  \nRoyal Alexandra & Albert School has minimum expectations in relation to students receiving feedback across a period of learning.
